I haven’t used any Framework systems, so I can’t really give a proper comparison. I have owned two S76 laptops, a now-ancient Lemur Pro I bought back in 2017, and just recently, a Pangolin I just picked up a few weeks ago. I haven’t really had a chance to put the Pangolin through its paces, but it does have AMD-based 3-d acceleration built in. The old Lemur (and the new lemurs) only have basic Intel graphics.
I was able to use my old Lemur for some very light gaming. I think last time I was traveling, I was able to play Football Manager and Fallout Shelter quite successfully, but Lord of the Rings Online was just a bit beyond its capabilities. I would assume that Skyrim would definitely be beyond the Lemur’s reach.
It looks like the F13 does have some amount of built-in 3d acceleration, so just looking at specs I would expect it to do better than the Lemur. Lemur’s got a slightly larger display, but neither are very big. The rest of the specs look like they can vary quite broadly depending on your order so that makes the rest a bit hard to compare fairly.
Like I said, I’ve never even seen a Framework laptop in person, so I can’t give a hands-on comparison. I can say that I’ve been very pleased with my experience with System 76. If you’re looking at S76, consider the Pangolin. It’s only a little bit larger than the Lemur, the price is pretty close, and it comes with more capabilities.
edit-to-add: Whatever you pick, I hope you will come back and tell us how it turned out.
You sound like me lol. I had a lemur first snd upgraded to a pangolin a few years ago. I do a lot of gaming on my pangolin, but mostly indie games. Per Aspera, parkitect, firewatch, stuff like that. It will play Valheim but it’s a little choppy on low.
I expect the latest version of the pangolin would run better. Not only is it a much improved APU, it looks like it has vastly improved cooling.
Yeah, I don’t expect to play a lot of things but 99% of the time I’m playing some 2D indie game. Everyone once in a blue moon I like to replay the TES series
Thats crazy you experience this. I have like 1500 hours in SoT, and it’s Rare (pun intended) to even hear other crews use voice chat. I can’t remember the last time someone was toxic. My only gripe is their servers suck sooooooooo much ass, I legit don’t think they have a single employee that knows how fix it.
Maybe I magically attract those toxic people. Could also be my regular crewmate who plays a female black pirate and gets double the bullshit. I have a few videos with us being called the N-word and screenshots with horrible ship or guild names and Rare barely does anything about it.
Same in Gaijins other game Enlisted. You see a lot of Nazi references in peoples nicknames like 88, SS and variations of famous leaders names and it’s not uncommon at all to see n-bombs etc in chat.
It’s a buggy pay2win shitshow but I must say the actual gameplay is pretty fun. Although I play it regularly myself I can’t recommend it in good conscience.
Rocket league toxicity is just so funny to me. Not only is it a game about funny cars playing football, but also console players can’t chat, so what they do is spam things like: nice shot, good save. I only played a few hours of rocket league, and my teammates HATED me. I didn’t even do that bad, and yeah, i also wished i wasn’t a noob.
Had a similar experience on PS3. Got online, set my status to friendly or what it’s called, and was killed constantly by vehicles. Stopped playing it then and there. I had hoped you could do co-op shenanigans and not get killed all the time.
I still remember the launch trailer. People hanging out. 10 people skydiving in a formation. People having fun in general. In reality? Get shot, get blown up, get shot by heatseeking missiles, get sniped from across the map. I played gtao on launch for a bit and then maybe a year later to see what it’s like. It was miserable, and i don’t get it.
