The first time I set eyes on their modular port tech, I knew this company was going places. I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon but I think my next laptop will be a framework if I continue to hear good things. Any statements on quality since people have had them for a bit now?

This website showed to me in French while I have my browser in English and am in the Netherlands.

If I want to switch to Dutch, it won't let me. My basic understanding of French is that this product is not yet available in my country. Still horrible experience. Why not show me the English page?

This website makes the wrong assumption someone's language is tied to the location.

Is there a miniature ASIO soundcard planned for one of the slots? Not needing to carry an external audio interface around when working within a DAW is a major factor that's keeping me on MacOS (both pro audio and consumer use the same driver there).

Love my Framework. Barring Apple's recent move away from the touchbar it's honestly the first machine I've been excited about in 6 or so years. The build quality is great, love the simplicity and design of the expansion ports, and the repair/upgrade-ability is huge. It's gotten me back into using Linux as a daily driver.

I really hope they stay true to their vision and that this means expanding it into other consumer product lines.

I'm a biased Framework owner, but fantastic news and congrats to anyone hanging out here.

I feel there has been a growing market for a company like this over the last few years with the RTR movement and upgrade cycles for hardware delivering less than they previously did.

This is something I would be interested in too.
