Hello Nirav,

When can we expect Framework to start accepting orders from India?

Is an intel version of the 16 in the pipeline?

Gonna be interesting to see if the community effort to get an oculink port goes anywhere, would make using it with an eGPU much more viable.

Regardless, it sounds pretty great from this review and the upgradable backslot is a massive achievement.

No questions. But I just want to say congrats on getting another SKU out. I'm a very happy customer of an AMD FW13. The product has been pretty excellent and I absolutely love owning a notebook that I feel like I really "own".

I wish they deliver good keyboard as well, like Thinkpads X201 or similar have. I am happy owner of modded X201 with updated screen, motherboard, and so on. It's not on a cheap side, but I'm happy to pay that price _only_ for the keyboard option. It's so cool. Folks back then knew what was important.

Are you planning to add blank keycaps or colemak/dvorak keycaps?

We currently have a blank keyboard module available in both ANSI and ISO! For other keyboard layouts like Dvorak, it is technically possible, but we don't have a timeline for it.

We certainly hope so! We handed some early adapter boards to the community members who were working on it, so we hope that they'll be able to show some initial prototypes quickly.
