    We can't share pricing yet, but certainly will before we open orders. The 128GB has been selling well, and we just re-opened orders with stock landing within two weeks.

    I shared this internally, and the team confirmed this is indeed a bug in our email form rendering. We've added it to the development backlog.

    It wasn't our preferred way of making an announcement, but all that we are currently able to do this early on this pre-release processor.

    We're fans of Cory Doctorow, and he is a Framework Laptop user!

    This is correct, we used a standard Mini-ITX form factor, and we've seen a number of customers pick up just the Mainboard and drop it into standard ATX cases. The power supply is a…

    Unfortunately we don't have any indication of memory pricing coming down in the next year, and many indications pointing to memory pricing continuing to increase pretty substantial…

    We're running out of space on our e-commerce UI elements and physical labels to fit some of these names.

    Point of clarification since it isn’t clear from the title. This isn’t a Framework product, but a product by Wisdpi designed for the Framework Expansion Card form factor.

    Yes, you'll get notified when your batch is getting ready to ship, and you can update your payment information. You can also update the default payment method in your user account …

    This is a 100% sRGB panel. We did look at expanded colorspace, but kept 100% sRGB to optimize for power consumption.

    The keyboard is mechanically the same, but it's a new SKU because we had to move the flex tail locations to support the haptic touchpad.

    This is an in-cell touchscreen and we didn't add cover glass. That means there is no weight impact to having it.

    1. Intel Core Ultra Series 3 is super efficient for video conferencing. That's a use case that Intel has specifically been optimizing for, so as long as you're using video conferen…

    Ultra X7 358H is the config we've used for most of our battery life tests, and efficiency should be very similar on the X9 config. We're keeping the SKU stack simpler and just havi…

    Wi-Fi is an M.2 2230 like on each of our products. We're using Intel's BE211 module for Wi-Fi 7.

    I’m happy to answer questions folks have around the product (later today).

    DIYers are a core audience for us (along with Linux users), but actually we’ve had a lot of success with other audiences too!

    That is incorrect. All of our laptops have modular, upgradable memory. Our Framework Desktop is a mini PC that does not because AMD’s Ryzen AI Max platform doesn’t support it. Rega…
