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

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 spacer…

Our support team is usually able to respond within 24 hours on weekdays, but if you haven't received a reply in longer than that, check if the response went to spam. Please also let them know about the touchpad.

Is the grey-to-grey response time information available? If not would it be possible to share the panel's serial code?

10% to 90% + 90% to 10% is 12ms.

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!

Amazing, you should add this somewhere public, like on the product description!

I think this will make Linux (ecosystem) support for VRR better, as it will be another thing for relatively sophisticated Linux users to tinker with (which have a fair cross-section with framework laptop owners it feels like).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Speaking of bezel hardware changes, people keep asking for the 13 to operate better while closed. I took a look inside my 13 and found that you could make a bezel with an indent or cutout on the hinge cover at the vent location and almost completely unblock the heatsink exhaust.

The only tradeoff I can think of besides inventory fragmentation would be appearance while open (no uniform bar the whole way across).

Not important for me personally, but it would make it a better option for those who use the laptop docked to a much larger screen perhaps with an eGPU.

10% to 90% + 90% to 10% is 12ms.

The sum of the times is 12ms?
