After only 13 years, I am retiring my . It did a great job over all these years and I upgraded it to the max, completely disassembled several times. But it was showing its age. I just set up my new personal device, a 13 DIY Edition (AMD) by @frameworkcomputer - that's a new kind of maintenance-friendly, repairable notebook. Order, delivery, assembly, setup, migration were a blast. No issues, and the installation of @manjarolinux worked out of the box. :awesome:

An unboxing picture: Top view on a gray couch and an open brownish cardboard box on top of it. One can see small parts of an orange and red carpet in the bottom of the picture. On top of the open lid of the box are two smaller boxes on display with Framework components: a bezel and the keyboard and touchpad unit. The two boxes partly cover an envelope fixed to the center of the lid. Visible on the envelope between the two boxes is an orange cartoon computer and a speech bubble stating "FW!". The main compartment shows the Framework laptop on the left and right next to it another cardboard spacer and a small box with 6 expansion cards each in its own packaging: Ethernet, USB-A, 3 USB-C, and a MicroSD card.

Apart from common reviews, the two pieces from @pluralistic were interesting reads where he wrote about his experience with Framework, incl. when his device got broken:
