How've you/her liked the Framework? Which one did you get? I've been considering one for months but I don't have a huge need but it'd be nice to have a solid laptop rather than my Chromebook that I'm running Arch on when I'm on my couch.

Framework 13 DIY edition. I've been quite happy so far and so has she. Configuring it was trivial and the one issue I ran into (setting up backups) was due to my not being familiar with fedora and KDE. Build quality is good, the bezel was the only part that gave me pause. She doesn't use it a ton so it's likely any minor nagging quirks will take a while to tease out.

Cool, thank you. What's up with the bezel? Flimsy?

It was tricky to get it to snap into place cleanly and I had to jostle some of the monitor wires into place while installing. The instructions did note that this was a common challenge point and so I was prepared for moving the wires. Once installed it's good quality.
