I can recommend the https://frame.work/ Laptop.
Bought two of them for me and my girlfriend, and we are both very happy with them.
The strength is the modular design and ability to upgrade the hardware. So you can use it as long as possible.

Hello!

It looks super interesting!

Could you tell us more about your experience with buying and using the computer please ?

I feel like this would be the only ā€œfairā€ computer possibility in 2025ā€¦

Thanks a lot

Hallo @hakimouse

Since 2022 I use my Framework 13 Laptop. Ordered it with Intel 11th Gen CPU und upgraded it last year with an AMD Board. Worked like a charm and can still recommend it.

Thank you very much or your fast answer !

  • I donā€™t know much about computers myself. sorry if itā€™s too specific question but : do you know if the 16" could be good for modern gaming (except what they sayā€¦) ?
  • I had a shiftphone before and the delays of shipping phone, spare parts, repair, answering from support was huuuuge !! Could you tell us your experience ? (Iā€™m in Europe by the way)

  1. The AMD board (7040 series) has a good integrated gpu so itā€™s good and also you can buy an RX 7700S graphics card module for it so I think itā€™s safe to say yes.

  2. Their shipping time (if in stock and not a pre-order) is around 3-5 days (if you buy a product from the nearest warehouse, in this case the EU one)

Hi everybody from the Fairphone community,

I use a NovaCustom laptop with Linux Mint. I am very happy with the laptop and the operating system.

Have a nice day :smiley:

Hi @hakimouse

that upgrade wasnĀ“t needed. But I got rid of my old gaminmg PC an turned the ā€œoldā€ Framework board into a gaming PC with the cooler Master housing and external GPU. That works pretty well, even with modern games like Cyberpunk 2077. Currently pimping the cooling a bit to reduce the noise.
