![]() ![]() Best case, the CPU is 30% faster and the GPU is equal. I think worst case the 12th gen is going to perform equal (to the macbook) in tems of CPU and GPU is 20% slower. There are “issues” with external display “cards” but it might also be issues with linux, and you can always just get a USB-C dongle (instead of the card) The 12th gen is shipping in a few months, the 11th gen is going to work (especially with Windows), even if there is some small “issues” (e.g., some batches have some “bad” charging circuit because of chip shortage, some have a different audio chip) but it’s not going to prevent you from being able to work on the laptop normally. The 11th gen variant has a few on-going issues, at least waiting to be ironed out (optimistically), or can’t be fixed (pessimistically). The Framework Laptop (with 12th gen Intel Processor) as mentioned isn’t something you can get your hands on yet. ![]() However, just note that Windows handles eGPU significantly better than Linux, but Linux can work with it, if you are willing to tinker. However a 3070 can handle pretty much everything as is. I believe the 3070 is the highest you can go before the overhead of the interface nullifies any performance gains. You can upgrade the card in the enclosure whenever you want, etc. The advantages of going that way is that you keep the most important element to your workflow separate. However if they are not, you can use an eGPU with a full up desktop GPU to augment your system with any 1 of the 4 thunderbolt 4 ports. The Intel graphics are greatly improved from previous generations, and might be capable enough to do what you need. The Framework laptop can handle up to 64gb of RAM, which is important. The CPU in the 11th and 12th is considerably faster and more power efficient. ![]() To the OP, your specs are only special because of the dedicated GPU in your system. But such are things when dealing with such a subjective topic and are unavoidable. Admittedly, I put a lot of emphasis on reparability and modularity. None of the issues highlighted prevent me from using the laptop and finding it to be one of the best I’ve ever purchased. ![]() The 11th gen variant has a few on-going issues, at least waiting to be ironed out (optimistically), or can’t be fixed (pessimistically).įor the record, I have 2 framework laptops (batch 1 and batch 5) and both of them are 100% usable. ![]()
