I've never dealt with captured case screws before, what happens if the screws get stripped? Is there a way to swap them out?

2 questions: 1. Have you sent review copies to any independent review channels like LTT, Gamers Nexus, etc etc? I've seen the Tested video but that was in a very controlled environment and I'm mainly waiting on independent reviews before buying one. 2. More of a business question that I'll understand if you don't want to answer, without sharing any actual numbers, has the preorder volume been more or less than you ex…
There is an LTT review up on floatplane. Presumably it will go to YouTube soon. The long short of it is Linus loves it and purchases his own.
Hello there, mr creator nrp-- if ThinkPad durability were 10, how many points would you give yourself? Thanks for taking the risk and creating this.
Holy crap, I was about to dish out for a 76, but this is the exact form factor I’m looking for.

Any plans on a model with a touchscreen? If this could have a touchscreen, I'd buy it in an instant!
We designed the display interface to be able to support a touchscreen, and we've designed the display to be easy to replace, but we don't have a touchscreen yet!

Are you considering OLED as well? The Dell XPS has that as an option and it is a serious draw, especially for coders who stare at a mostly-black screen all day.
@pabs3, there is actually a 4:3 13.3" e-ink panel that may be possible to fit, but it would be challenging to interface. On OLED, nothing we can share yet, but there are certainly benefits to OLED panels.
This is great! Was about to order an XPS or Thinkpad but think I'll go with this instead! How many external displays does it support? Would I need thunderbolt (would that just be a $9 adapter???)? I'd like to connect at least 3 external displays (so 4 total screens including the laptop). Is that possible? Thanks!
No thunderbolt on it. Thunderbolt is very hard to implement.
Hi Nirav, exciting times ahead! Key highlights I'd like to point out is that you nailed the screen specs (3:2 and brightness) as well as the 1080p camera which is something that has always annoyed me. Do you have a timeline of how long you expect to keep the mainboard design replaceable with this frame? I'd personally love to see an AMD chip in there over Intel but this is right up there for my next laptop purchase (…
Major thumbs-up for AMD chip. With a replaceable main board, this will be a dream. I ordered a framework laptop at its highest CPU+RAM spec and can't wait to replace my 6 years old ThinkPad x250 with it. EDIT: would also add that the open source design USB-C based side modules are amazing - looking forward to designing my own modules.

One of the biggest causes of (un)planned obsolescence, if not the biggest cause, is an end to firmware and microcode updates. Once they stop coming in, vulnerabilities start piling up. For how many years can consumers expect to receive these updates?
