@framework Good morning from Spain!.
My Macbook Pro 2011 is dying. After upgrading it to the maximum, now it's stuck in an outdated OS and I can't install or update new software. So I want to escape from the “Apple cult”. No way to pay 3000 € for something you can't upgrade.
I am thinking seriously to buy a Framework 16' with the 8gb gpu to work with Ubuntu and Win11 for simulators. But I have heard some bad comments about the quality of the keyboard, the spacers, and the noisy fan. Any advice?

@fitgse @framework
Thanks fitgse for the info!. Sure the Framework 13" is great, I would have no doubt to buy it since everyone speaks wonderfully about it.
But the "problem" is that there are not so many reviews about the 16', and some of them report some high noise with the fan when the GPU is attached. I have a 13' Mac right now, but I miss a bigger screen and a GPU to play flight simulators on.
I know for sure Framework will be my next computer, but should I wait for a new batch of the 16"?
