Yeah they've burned up a lot of goodwill by prioritizing integrators so heavily. Not just work there community but in Broadcom apparently, according to other comments.

On the other hand expressif is eating their low end, the pico was too expensive too late. Perhaps they will make a bigger board too. They're much better at integrating with the community than Broadcom, they hired community members like sprite_tm.

That's the coolest impractical laptop I've seen.

I'd say it is not that impractical. Sits somewhere between a laptop and an ITX build, self-contained but needing table. I thought that was the most impressive part.

Great portable computer don't get me wrong. I'd make it impractical in different ways

Actually, that frightens me. I know of another powerful, tested, and DIY friendly compact computer: the Raspberry Pi. The Pi got integrated into so many full fledged commercial products that it's lost its availability for hackers. If the Framework mainboard becomes a Super-Pi, will Framework owners be able to get the spare parts that they were counting on?

You've stacked quite a few what-ifs on top of each other

That's not a laptop, but portable (desktop) all-in-one computer. Laptops should have keyboard and everything in one portable package, this is unusable without external keyboard and doesn't have built-in keyboard, thus it's NOT laptop. And I don't care what he says in video, title is clickbait.

All-in-one computers usually don't have a battery, do they?

Well technically all motherboards have one...

Well. sure, but obviously still keeping the name "laptop" in the video title is, as always on the good old 'Tube, clickbait. It's not, uh, intellectually honest to say "here's how to build a triple-screen laptop!" and then follow that up with "oh, btw, don't use laptops, desktop computers are better for you, see?". All that said, I did enjoy the build and it's really cool to see both Framework parts being used as wel…

Do you remember what laptops were like? The title of "laptop" itself was a lie. You could not put a burning hot 12lb electronic on your lap and it was proven to lower fertility in men. Only recently has this changed.

I kinda miss the hot Macbook on my lap, was very cozy on the couch on cold winter days.

The new Macbooks feel dead cold.

I was curious what you were referring to here, and found this case study which was interesting: https://eiara.nz/posts/2022/Dec/09/a-case-study-on-raspberry...

Did not expect it at all, it's so out of place I love it

Feels so retro like some piece of furniture I'd have seen at my grandparent's house.

Thats it!!! I was wondering what vibe it gave, 100% retro futurist

This has basically refueled my idea of making a modern version of the IBM PS/2 Model P70. Instead of desktop components I can use parts of a framework pc to skip out on a lot of the horrors of planning custom builds like this.
