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.
I'm happy to answer any questions folks have on this product.
Any plans for a keyboard with a trackpoint-like device? Is it possible to remove the trackpad?
I even made the simulation of upgrading to 64gb of ram just after I bought it to prove myself that it was the right choice.
I cannot think of going back to buying something I know I'll most likely have to replace entirely after some time because it cannot be upgraded.
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.

Why do they continue to put a Windows icon on the super key? That alone would prevent me from buying it ;p

This keyboard config uses the super key.
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 am really happy with my fw13. I love everything of it. I even made the simulation of upgrading to 64gb of ram just after I bought it to prove myself that it was the right choice. I cannot think of going back to buying something I know I'll most likely have to replace entirely after some time because it cannot be upgraded.
