Which OS?

Sounds driver related. Work have had various issues on Windows with certain ThinkPads due to Teams having some weird interaction with the power management driver.

Teams is somewhat of a resource hog, as the “application” is basically a self contained web browser running the app.

Framework have categorically said they won’t offer colours, due to the environmental impact.

it’s a specific issue to your laptop, not a general issue.

It’s out of support in 2025.

Can’t give you an answer - you’re comparing two different things. We’re not psychic and don’t have any idea what you’d be using it for.

Different CPU architecture now, so you can only run macOS. It’s not like the Intel Mac days when you could run Windows, Linux etc natively on the Macs.

The Mac is the close to the anti-framework. It’s pretty much unrepairable and expandable. The batteries are glued in and the storage is soldered on.

Out of interest do we know what CAS the Framework branded RAM is?
