Framework Laptop 16

Anyone using Framework for a daily driver that can compare to an M-series Macbook? Specifically, battery life on your OS. Does anything compare to a MBP these days?

From a value proposition, it seems good. Our group definitely goes through keyboards and mainboards from spilled tea at least annually it seems, but AppleCare is just a no-brainer, and away we go.

I still drive on my original M1 at home without complaint, and use my M3 at work. Anyone have the early Frameworks still in daily use? How are they?

I have an early batch framework (i7 11th gen) still in use (I have no other laptops or a PC). A few benefits I've gotten out of it: - I spilled almost a liter of milk on my keyboard, really gummed it up. Keys stopped working. Got it replaced for pretty cheap. - Linux just works. No weird driver issues But... - Battery life is horrible. I pretty much just have it plugged in whenever I can. When off battery, I use the cpupower frequency set command to limit to 1000MHz which is fast enough for vim anyways. Compiling stuff becomes a bit slower but since I write Go, it's not too bad. - Fan noise is loud - My specific laptop had a weird sensor bug where it would sometimes randomly get throttled to 200 MHz. Framework didn't really help or replace it.

Honestly it'll probably last me another 5 years before I need to switch out the mainboard. I don't do anything intense like gaming.
