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.

I personally never experienced a keyboard as comfortable as my fw13. I am coming from XPS ones and never tried ThinkPads, thought.

I'm happy to answer any questions folks have on this product.

Can you convert an existing Framework laptop into a Framework 16 in an economical way? Based on the marketplace, it looks like it would be at least $750 for just the mainboard.

The Expansion Cards are cross-compatible (as are memory [if you have DDR5] and storage), but the other modules are unique to Framework Laptop 13 vs Framework Laptop 16. We did that to be able to fully optimize for each form factor.

Are there plans for USB4/thunderbolt on amd ryzen laptops?

USB4 support is present on the rear left and right Expansion Card slots on our Ryzen-powered Framework Laptop 13 and Framework Laptop 16.
