Hi there, I've been wanting a framework for awhile now, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was perusing the website today, comparing the price and performance of different configurations, when I realized that the 16 needs a 100w power adapter, 180w if you've got the graphics card.

This is a dumb question, because obviously it would charge fine with the lid closed and idling or turned off. Or I could just upgrade my power adapters. But I have a lot of 65w USB C PD chargers in my house and cars, and I was wondering if anyone has tried using them, and if so how effective is it?

Like, 180w is a lot of power. If I'm just working on spreadsheets or something, I'm imagining it would charge just fine? Under a heavier load I would probably start to slip backwards? Where's the line? Movie watching? Light gaming?

Just food for discussion I guess, I still haven't pulled the trigger haha.

Thanks!

I am a noob. I am wondering: are there security issues with buying a second hand Framework laptop (I cannot really afford a new one)?

I am thinking here specifically of people having loaded malicious BIOS or put in extra chips to do…”bad things”…

Im looking for an internal usba plug thing for a wireless mouse. I have access to a 3d printer and am wondering if there is some pcb design i can send off to one of those Chinese manufacturers with a parts list.

the new 2880 x 1920 just arrived and I'm not sure what to do with the old screen. I'm aware of plenty of software options I could use, but I don't know how to hook this old display up to something with a CPU (or what search for). advice?

I’ve just ordered a Framework 13 at work to test out and I was wondering if anyone else had any experience using Framework in a business?
