Are either of those brands designed with the same level of user serviceability in mind?

The main drive for framework is how easy they are to repair or mod along with their varying degrees of modularity (such as their swappable ports).

Because he’s a blog spammer. Sure the question is valid but his “article” is just links to various youtube videos. The blog itself has zero substance.

Not like there’s much to read in the first place.

There is plenty of tooling for Linux to accomplish most if not all of the same goals but in my experience the difference between the two is the the windows tooling is much “friendlier” and for better or worse easier to get off the ground than a Linux equivalent.

Going the Linux route can and will work but it practically requires you have a a very good admin running the show who truly understands the infrastructure you are working with. I love Linux and greatly prefer working with it over Windows is basically every capacity but I’m not about to go my director and try to convince him we should switch from Windows to Linux as that conversion would be an immense undertaking and I am realistically the only person on staff capable of managing it.

Additional given so many other businesses/partners are also Windows based shops it very often just makes things easier when everyone is playing on the same or very similar field.

Because it’s “easier” to support Windows from a business perspective and it’s easier on users to use Windows as most already do use it and thus need no additional training/decreases support tickets.

I’m a small business environment it’s much easier to manage with Linux but you still need an OK Linux admin on staff.

Once you start scaling up on paper Linux certainly works but there are a lot of factors that most people (such as yourself) don’t consider.

This is coming from a pure Linux admin working on a mixed Enterprise environment where 99% of the infra is windows

What’s bad about it? I’m a Linux admin by nature but an admin of all by profession and overall I have no real complaints about Teams. Has always worked just fine for me and to my knowledge everyone else.

I mean I’m not sitting here defending soldered on ram but your unnecessary aggression and sarcasm in your previous responses overshadows the fact that while solder on ram sucks for the upgrade and repair market the underlying tech has very tangible improvements and now we can maintain that improvement and the upgrade and repair functions.

I agree, soldered ram is bad. But I disagree that LPDDR ram is fundamentally bad and this improvement allowing it to be modular while maintaining its improvements is a very good thing.

As far as your complaints of battery life on your thinpad goes, there is much more to battery life than the consumption of the memory but naturally every part plays a role and small improvements in multiple places result in a larger net improvement. I’m assuming you’re running linux which in my experience has always suffered from less than optimal power usage. I’m far from an expert in that particular area but its always been my understanding that it is largely caused by insufficient fireware support.

As a whole this looking at this article in a vacuum i only see good things. A major flaw with lpddr has been address and i will be able to expect these improvements in future systems.

So you believe that the performance improvement and power saving is not worth creating a new standard?

But the article explains that there is a technical reason.
