Plus I just steer away from the “material” properties panel like it’s Mordor.



To make it work I changed the “custom material” setting that was on by default in the “display modes” to “object’s color” settings for every view that was crashing. Wireframe mode worked just fine but when I switched to “shaded” it crashed when trying to display a 3d object. So far the company is off to a great start, having launched the laptop with 11th-gen Intel processors in 2021 and followed through with mainboard upgrades for 12th-gen processors in 2022.I just remembered I posted it in this thread a while backĪnyway… it crashed whenever I tried to activate a visual style that involves showing “custom materials” or if I tried to open the material section of the “properties” panel. But the Framework Laptop has hours less battery life than our top ultrabook pick, and the ability to upgrade and repair it down the line depends on the company continuing to exist and to supply parts. It’s sturdy and surprisingly thin and light for how modular its design is, and it has a reliable keyboard and trackpad plus a bright and spacious display. And the Framework Laptop is an excellent computer, too. You can add more memory and storage, but you can also replace the battery, upgrade the mainboard with a new processor, or repair anything else if it breaks-the display, the fingerprint reader, the keyboard, the hinge, you name it. Each part and screw is helpfully labeled, along with handy QR codes that direct you to step-by-step replacement guides that also contain links to the exact parts you’ll need. Why we like this one: Every part of the Framework Laptop is super easy to repair and upgrade, and Framework makes all of its parts available to purchase on its website.
