Apparently there was a batch of laptops/mainboards that had this problem and I got really unlucky to get both from that batch

So I ordered the DIY edition and when it arrived the screw to input the SSD was stripped and wouldn't budge. I emailed their support and they said they would replace the motherboard, and when that arrived it had the exact same stripped screw. I told them about it and they said to ship to their repair center so I did. I didnt receive further details about it for a week so I just decided to refund because it had already been more than a month since i first got it. Of course I could've waited a few more weeks for it but I urgently need a laptop now and don't think I could have waited that long.

Hi thanks for the questions. I plan to just generally use for browsing the web, watching YouTube and of course Lemmy lol. I'd also like to use it for school work and coding. I was hoping to play some games on it yes. The screen should be around 13" as I'll be carrying it out a lot and need it to be portable. Above that its too big for me. I'd like a pretty good battery life around 7+ hour, enough to last an average day of use. No preferences on operating systems but I've only ever used windows and a tiny bit of Linux.

I recently ordered one and had some issues with it so I returned it. Would prefer one from another brand as I did not have a good experience with Framework.

You doing ok op?
