You know how Macbooks have really good speakers? One thing I didn't realize is that speakers need to be software-calibrated. This is something Apple does well, as they own the hardware and OS stack end to end. When I got my Framework 13, the speakers were really really bad. Music sounded tinny with annoying reverbs all over. Turns out there's a community of people who created calibration files that you can import and fix that: https://github.com/ceiphr/ee-framework-presets With a decent microphone and frequency targets, we can create great calibrations for a variety of conditions. I appreciate how motivated the Framework community is to make the hardware the best it can be, I bet Thinkpads could benefit from calibration too but I've never seen it mentioned! https://community.frame.work/t/speakers-sound-quality/1078 Anyway, the speakers are great now, definitely similar ballpark as Macbook speakers (IMO a bit better than the Air, not quite as good as the larger Pro's).

It's amazing how passionate communities can transform tech! The work on Framework 13's speaker calibration is a testament to collaborative ingenuity. Kudos to the Framework enthusiasts for stepping up and enhancing user experience to rival even MacBooks. Imagine the potential if other brands embraced this!
