It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12
Summary
A hardware comparison by Jeff Geerling between Framework 12 and MacBook Neo, focusing on value, performance, and build quality. The Neo is generally faster, cheaper, and quieter with a better display, while the Framework 12 offers upgradeability and a touchscreen but at a higher price and with weaker display and acoustics. The piece argues the Framework 12 represents poor value relative to the Neo, though Framework’s ecosystem (upgrades, Linux support) may appeal in certain scenarios.
