Perhaps the coolest part of this update is a new 2.8k 120hz screen.

This will be the first time I've upgraded a screen (myself) on my main laptop, although it ships in August.

I wonder if 120hz will drain the battery a lot faster as OEMs claim they do on smartphones, or if there's VRR support.

There is VRR support, but 2880x1920 is still pushing a lot of pixels!

It's great that it's VRR. Also I don't think the rounded corners will matter much in practice, might even look cool if the bezels are designed for it!

Yep, you stop noticing the corners pretty quickly. We thought about introducing rounded bezels to match it, but didn't want to introduce bezel fragmentation.

I'm happy to answer any questions folks have about the new product and modules.

Either I'm going crazy or there's bug in the configuration wizard - I'm selecting 64GB of memory with Ultra 7 165H CPU DIY, but when I add it to the bag it says just 16GB.

I just got a Framework 16 laptop and can't get it set up because it gives an error that the input module connector board is not detected. I already opened a ticket with support but haven't yet heard back.

The face plate for the touchpad isn't flush with the faceplate with the side panels, which is sort of annoying. It could be resolved by having the touchpad panel the full width of the laptop instead of having spacers. Will there be an option to do that in the future?

Thanks for reporting this. The team is able to reproduce this and is working on fixing it now.
