I think I remember seeing in an LTT video, mention of possibly using the expansion slot as an additional battery input. I didn't know if that was a possible direction considering the tech specs mainly focus on the 8x interface. Having bought a thinkpad for that exact purpose of an extra swappable battery, that would be a big boon if it was possible (even if you can't comment on a specific road map).

We've designed the Expansion Bay module system to be able to handle power bi-directionally. One of the main reasons for this was to enable secondary batteries. This specific module isn't something we've shared any plans around, but it's something that either we or a third party would be able to build.

Yes, we worked with BOE to build a semi-custom display specifically because we couldn't find a great panel that had high refresh rate, high brightness, high contrast, and a wide color gamut at a reasonable price. Color gamut was often the missing part in available "gaming" panels.

Looks like the site and store are getting the hug of death. People really want this!
Is your manufacturing going to be able to keep up with demand?

Gotta say I like how the images on the left change to whatever component you're selecting as you scroll down the configuration, very nice :)

Apparently!
Part of why we do pre-orders is to get a good read on demand early enough to adjust our production capacity. Our main manufacturing partner is Compal, who is one of the three largest laptop manufacturer in the world, so we have headroom to be able to continue to scale up.

Why is it taking so long for Framework's products to become available in other countries? It's been more than two years and three product generations + an entirely new product, and you still can't even pre-order in the vast majority of regions.
There are plenty of electronics products on Kickstarter that can be ordered from dozens of countries even while the product is still in development, so why is this so difficult with Framework?
