Not bad for a laptop with unreliable USB support. But that's ok, USB is pretty niche, nobody really uses that...

/s

(speaking from personal experience with a fw16, multiple USB A and C expansion modules, after a mainboard replacement and firmware update and testing under several different Linux distros. but also, framework's own community forums show plenty of reports of USB problems, and even more on reddit)

I have not had problems with usb so far on my fw16 but the integrated graphics 780M.... My god the amd gpu drivers are a mess.

Crashes and artifacts daily. At least it is somewhat possible to contact amd and work on a fix together with them.

I see a lot of people bashing this laptop but i still think it came out be a really nice machine. I still dont agree with the framework philosophy(i say this while daily driving a framework 13) because i think devices should be pro-repair and not pro-i-can-dissasemble-it-for-fun or whatever you would call it. But the laptops they make are still really nice but they overdo the whole repair thing. A laptop should be repairable enough that tech savvy people can fix it and not so non-tech people can. Too much unnecessary overhead for very little gain.
