I explain my reasoning on the Franework laptop for instance - they are bulky, shoddily made, loud, and poor battery life compared to even an M1 MacBook Air.

From what I read, even for x86 laptops, they are for from the best and that’s a really low bar in 2025



> Franework [sic] ... they are for from the best [sic] ... from what I read

That's a lot of typos to just repeat someone else's first hand experience you read about. I guess I should have opinions on Airbus vs. Boeing, too -- mind you, I've never flown a plane, but you know, I've read some stuff online so I'm basically an expert.


Really? While I don’t know anything about flying a plane, I do know when they say something weighs $x, how heavy $x is. I also know that if it has a fan that stays on constantly it’s going to be louder than a laptop that doesn’t have a fan or one that hardly ever comes on.

I know that if they say the laptop last 3 hours on a battery compared to 13+ hours that 13 > 3. I learned that when I was 4 years old.

I also know that if it’s an x86 laptop, that it is going to run hotter than my M2 MacBook Air.

If I read the dimensions of the laptop and read the dimensions of my laptop, I can easily say it’s “bulky”.
