I’m always a little worried when I see things like reviews from companys that have an ownership stake in the other without disclosure. In this case, Linus’s of LTT’s stake in Framework is probably already widely known among people seeing this post. And, to his credit is always disclosed on LTT videos as far as I know. But it still feels a bit shady for Framework to tout a positive review without that disclosure. It just makes me wonder what other business relationships I might be missing.
In this case I think it’s probably still a very good product. I personally recently decided against a framework because I couldn’t justify the price delta for something I really only use occasionally because I’ll always default to my desktop.
