Thanks for the report! We'll dig into it.

More detail: It takes a couple seconds for the selection to register, and if you scroll after tapping but before it registers, it scrolls back to your original position.

Thanks! It turns out this was on our backlog, but we had deprioritized solving it. With the massive amount of traffic on the site today, the slowness makes it much easier to hit. We're reprioritizing fixing it.

What type of wifi cards do these use ? Is it the cnvi type, which I think are semi-soldered ? Or is it the regular pcie type one ? Also, would like to see this reviewed by someone from the linux community (e.g., phoronix).

We use M.2 2230 WiFi cards, with both PCI-e and CNVi routed to the socket. For the pre-built systems, we install an AX201 card. For DIY Edition, we offer AX210 or you can bring your own card.

Does Framework [the company] offer, or plan to offer internship opportunities for students at any point? As a student, I would love to have the ability to work at a company like Framework that is innovating for a good cause.

When job offers were getting rescinded in summer 2020, we opened up an internship and brought in an awesome firmware intern. We didn't have the bandwidth this summer for interns (and the job market is much better), but it is something we'll do again in the future.

Framework Founder here! I am happy to answer any questions on the product.

Where do I get all drivers required when I decide to install Windows myself buying the DIY version?

We have a link to the driver bundle at the end of the Windows installation guide: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Windows+10+Installation+on+t...

A touchpad with buttons is something that we have explored, and is in theory a replacement module we can create. Inserting a track point would be much more challenging from a cost and engineering feasibility standpoint. We may have underestimated the level of interest around track point...

At the moment, there are exactly two things stopping me from jumping on this: 1) 3 buttons at the top of the mousepad, ideally contoured to be comfortable and easily differentiated. 2) A 3+ year warranty, rather than just 1 year. The screen and the high-end internals are really grabbing me.

Their warranty is utterly ridiculous. Even the EU mandates 2+years for all consumer electronics.

I'm not expecting Next Business On Site warranty from a new company (though that would be nice...), but an option for at least 3 years is the very minimum for me.

How about jobs? Interested in the senior frontend role, are you open to Canadian candidates? Do we mention HN in the cover letter? :)

Yes! We're hiring across a bunch of roles in development, marketing, operations, and more: https://jobs.frame.work

We don't currently have anyone on the team in Canada, but we are definitely open to it for the right candidate. Please do mention HN so we know where people are coming from!
