I’ve been having a great time with my new @frameworkcomputer laptop. The flexibility is really unique. First I got to build the laptop myself with parts, and now I get it to be what I want it to be with regards to input and ports and such. I’ll probably swap out the screen bezel for a bolder color, though. The purple is not very purple. Worth the 6 month wait!
@blenderfox I’ve never had a fancy looking computer, just Thinkpads and MacBooks. I’m not a gamer, I don’t care about RGB lighting, or making the computer fun. But I thought for this one, since the options are there, I’d go all the way the other direction and make it really fun, just for a change of pace. I’m enjoying different for different sake!
@piegames It’s a macropad, so you can program it to be whatever you want it to be. Numpad, arrows, special keys for the computer, whatever. I use it to switch between my window manager desktops.
@frigginglorious I can totally see having a dedicated numpad would be useful for that use case. I’ve been using the macropad to perform one key macros to change desktops in my tiling window manager. It’s actually been really convenient, especially when my hands aren’t already on the keys. I just tap a single key, and I’m at my browser.
@mattdsteele Oh yeah! That's the same one I have, technically it's not purple. I wish another bezel wasn't $50 though, seems a lot for a piece of plastic with some magnets. But they're a small company, I'll support them.
