They posted the first bit of reviews, and seems like people are getting some soon

I'm always a little worried when I see things like reviews from companys that have an ownership stake in the other without disclosure. In this case, Linus's of LTT's stake in Framework is probably already widely known among people seeing this post. And, to his credit is always disclosed on LTT videos as far as I know. But it still feels a bit shady for Framework to tout a positive review without that disclosure. It just makes me wonder what other business relationships I might be missing.

In this case I think it's probably still a very good product. I personally recently decided against a framework because I couldn't justify the price delta for something I really only use occasionally because I'll always default to my desktop.

To be honest, Alex criticized the keyboard pretty hard due flexing and suggested to put thermal pads below. About Linus, from what I saw he always disclosed his investment.

Unfortunately it isn’t available on my market yet and I need to get a new laptop
