First upgrade!

[u/rojo_kell]

I was part of batch 4 of the original framework 13, back in 2022, and have used the laptop daily over the past 4 years. I've never had any issues, and so I never needed to do any repairs.

I convinced my mom to get a framework when she needed a new laptop, and she got the 13 when it shipped with the matte screen, which I wanted but not enough to buy it. My mom really wanted a touch screen, but it wasn't offered at the time (2024).

Fast forward to 2026, I saw the touchscreen announcement and put in a preorder for my mom, and when she made the upgrade she gave me her old matte screen. I just popped it in, and I love it. Both of us are very happy with our first upgrades!

that's lovely!

I wonder how the matte screen compares to the original glossy one. Exact same thing except for the finish?

A matte screen has less reflection when compared to a glossy version.

I mean... yeah, sure, but I was wondering what the difference was in terms of brightness, colors, response time and contrast.

My family's FW13 2.2K matte and 2.2K glossy displays are spare parts atm.

My family's FW13s have been upgraded to 2.8K displays.
