Framework Laptop Community

Currently looking at a DIY AMD 7640U, 1x16GB RAM, 250GB storage, 1 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 1 HDMI....

I just got my Framework 16 DIY version and I can’t install the primary SSD because there is a captive screw in the place that holds the SSD down and I can’t remove it so the SSD doesn’t stay held down. There is a screw for the secondary SSD and it comes out. Any ideas?...

This might be a stupid question but does anyone know:...

Again, the best part first:...

My goal is a blobless Linux Framework laptop, but AFAIK there are no open source drivers for the included AMD RZ616 WiFi card. What would you do, replace that it a different M.2 card? Do any blobless ones exist? Any recommendations?

Last Wednesday, the parcel arrived, one day prior to the expected delivery date. I wanted to show my girlfriend how to expand memory and storage on a computer, so we did the whole process together. Despite being one of the less tech-savvy people I know, she assembled it with minor assistance from me in about 10 minutes. And it...

Hello Wonderful people!...
