#2Looks like this is the official site: https://frame.work/
"Framework Laptop starts at $999. DIY Edition configurable from $749." - that's for the base model.
Unfortunately I didn't see the display specifications while configuring the product. That is a major factor when making a decision for me.

#3I love the idea of modular, upgradable, and especially linux-friendly.
But, because modular, I'd like a Framework Surface.
Having the screen, keyboard, touchpad, computer, etc all integrated into a single device, seems like far too many factors and constraints to be able to reach perfection. Better to split at least the keyboard and pointing device, so you can pick and choose.

And one of the pictures from Larabel (third in first page, https://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=framework-laptop&image... ) does not seem to show a matte display, though I am not sure...
Edit: confirmed glossy on other reviews.

That would be very interesting. Maybe I could finally fulfill my dream of a portable system that can raise the display to eye level while keeping the keyboard at an ergonomic level.
I‘m surprised no one else seems to want this. Imagine if you could clip your screen onto the headrest in front of you. Wouldn‘t that be a huge improvement?

Yea, say what you want about Apple, but they seem to be one of the few tech companies that manage to ship all their products in all their configurations to almost all countries.
So many times I read a review for something interesting sounding only to find out that that version isn't sold where I happen to live.

Yeah, that would be awesome. I’d pick a X12 detachable like keyboard for mine.

#10From https://frame.work/blog/linux-on-the-framework-laptop :
“ There has been immense interest in this configuration, with it outselling pre-configured systems with Windows 10 by a wide margin.”
There is a market. And it is currently under-served.
