People also are very biased towards this company which makes the laptop seem better than it is? I have doubts about the trackpad and sleep functionality. Overheating also seems to be problematic. Seems to me Framework is not mature enough yet.
FWIW, I'm pretty picky about trackpads and I think the Framework's is solid. Maybe not as good as a Macbook's, but not far behind either. Definitely with you on battery life while sleeping though.
