thejml , 1 month ago to Technology in Framework boosts its 13-inch laptop with new CPUs, lower prices, and better screens

But hole punch cameras and round corners that go to the edges are so much better than a small bezel with square content! /s

Drives me nuts as well.

To each their own. I’ve personally got a 14” MBP (which is physically the same size as my 13” was, they just have smaller bezels) and work provides me a 16” MBP. The 16 is unwieldy, massive, heavy, too large on my lap, barely fits in my laptop bag, and is a general pain to lug around. Every time I use it I’m reminded of how much I’m glad I got the 14”instead. I feel like the 16 is the worst of both worlds. It’s too big to truly be a portable, machine, but too small to do real work on. Sometimes I’ll think “I wish I had more screen real estate” on the 14, but I do on the 16 as well, so it doesn’t really solve the issue while also being large and heavy.

In short, it depends on what you like, and what you need to do. Being an ultraportable is a big plus and there are monitors in most places I need more space anyway.

I had one for two years and it stopped being a router. Was my third router in like 5 yrs. I switched to a small Ubiquiti setup and my speeds tripled as well as improving my wifi coverage. It’s been rock solid for 6+ years now. Plus I can easily swap out the access point when technology upgrades easily. Definitely recommend.

Sadly, too many places around here don’t get support Apple Pay and even less Google wallet. It’s definitely improved the last few years, probably 80%, but not 100%, so I’ve had to carry mine. So close I can’t wait!
