I would highly recommend the Framework 13. I’ve had it for a bit more than a year now. The only problem I’ve faced was that the WiFi card was a bit unstable in EndeavourOS. But that was fixed by replacing wpa_supplicant with iwd. (I hear that it was only an issue for the AMD version, and that it’s fixed now.) Battery life is fine for me. I limit charging at 70%, and that usually lasts me the whole day.
I love how Linux friendly it is. On my last laptop (an HP), it was pretty much impossible to upgrade the BIOS from inside Linux. Now it’s trivial. There’s also good support available when you face issues. (Both from Framework, and community members.) The hardware is pretty nice. I actually like how it’s MacBook-like, because it just looks nice in most settings. It’s portable too, I really hope they don’t make it bulkier like some folks here seem to demand.
