I’m looking at getting myself a new laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron. I’ll be using it for some on the go video editing.
I watch TheLinuxExperiment and he seems happy enough with Tuxedo Laptops. I was looking at the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen5 - AMD but I’m open to other recommendations.
Perhaps check out https://frame.work
If I remember correctly the shipping was really high when shipping to the EU. Might be different now, I’ll take a look again.
Currently they have direct shipping for some EU’s members (Germany, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Spain, Belgium) Source
And I think the shipment costs are currently already in the price for the laptop Source
But I’ve not bought one so I don’t have direct experience
That’s good to know, thank you!
I live in a country where Framework doesn’t officially ship. I asked them if I could buy and pay for shipping out here in the sticks, as a special order.
Framework’s answer was a hard no.
I kept telling them “What part of TAKE MY MONEY I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE COST OF SHIPPING don’t you understand? I want to buy a laptop from you, I’m telling you to wave the warranty and I’ll pay for shipping no matter how expensive, and you refuse???”
But they refused.
So fuck Framework, sadly.
As for Linus Sebastian investing in their company, that one I didn’t know. That doesn’t make me all warm and fuzzy because, I don’t know why, Linus is one of the most phenomenally irritating Youtuber in Youtubeland. I can’t stand listening to the man.
I know it’s totally subjective, he’s really pro in what he does and I have nothing against him, but it’s visceral: I can’t stand the sight of him. His investing in Framework makes me want a Framework laptop less - although I fully admit it’s not rational at all.
One could use https://mailboxde.com. I don’t have personal experience with them, but they seem to insure packages up to 1000EUR.
I think I’ll give this option a shot once I manage to offload a few existing computers…
edit Well, perhaps not. Mailboxde says that they support shipping only inside EU.
Same situation here. I’ve been wondering what’s so difficult about it.
Nah Im not giving a cent to Linus Sebastian until he releases the sexual harassment investigation results he lied about releasing.
Linus from LTT is not behind the Framework company/products: https://frame.work/gb/en/about
He may have done a video about them, but that’s about it.
Linus is an investor in the framework company: Source on the framework forums that links to the video on youtube
spoiler
Why not directly link to the video? Because I don’t want to! :P
Ironically im still downvoted despite you clearing this up… sigh
Unfortunately, in general, people tend to just read, vote, and then forget about it without checking back: that’s why I always try to add some source or ways to verify what I post.
And - in this specific case - probably some people just like LTT, I assume.
Huh. Thank you very much for clearing that up - I don’t really watch LTT anymore (not really for a long time, even before the whole i n c i d e n t) so it’s great to have some perspective.
Shame, really.
Oh, that was news to me.
