See [1] I too wish they'd answer this more clearly or show more pictures to give a proper impression, but it seems it covers the back and under-side, so if extending thickness presumably they'd cause the keyboard to tilt accordingly, and extending the depth would just mean more of it would hang out the back. This article seems to show of what I assume is the GPU expansion with a "larger butt" [2] [1] https://github.c…

This is correct. We’ll share more detailed product photography and dimensions this Spring when we open preorders.

It is not legal, but the advantage is that you don't have to deal with shady software like that pirate KMS server. Even though it is a breach of contract because it is not how these licences are supposed to be used, it is still recognized as genuine by Microsoft, so you get all the updates, etc... You may get your license revoked it the seller get caught and as a result, you may need to get a new one. As an individua…

If the breach of contract is by the seller, then how does that result in illegality on the part of the buyer?

Well now that you have read this forum thread and responded to it that’s proof that you knew that was a possibility at least. You can’t claim “lack of knowledge” if you do it and Microsoft comes for you.

But I am not a lawyer, perhaps on this case that doesn’t matter.

I’m happy to answer questions that folks have on this. There was also an earlier HN thread on our full launch event where we announced 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7040 Series versions of the Framework Laptop 13, along with a bunch of other stuff: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35277660

Is this how the GPU module cooling will work? (a poor mouse drawing of my best guess based on the pictures)

They don’t. They stick out from behind the laptop, so they aren’t constrained by the laptop’s dimensions

What's going on w/ sleep/wake and suspend, particularly on Linux? From what I understand, the previous problems were due to Intel's bizarre behavior around s3 sleep. Has AMD introduced Apple-like sleep/wake/suspend behavior?

I can't seem to find any info on display resolution on their website. Am I blind?

What we shared today is an early developer preview of the new module systems. We’ll be sharing full product specifications when we open pre-orders this Spring.

Sadly I feel like trackpoints are really end of life and I wouldn't be surprised if Lenovo ditched them entirely soon. It seems they keep it only to please the tiny but vocal minority of tinkerers that we are. But we mostly buy old, second hand thinkpads. And as keyboards get thinner, trackpoints lose in quality. On linux it seems the software side is also not as good as before with libinput. So I'd be really surpris…

There's a trope in car nerd circles of "We all know the best vehicle is a manual transmission brown diesel station wagon" and then of course these people only buy one that's 10 years old, so at this point no car company makes such a beast new . Pre-covid I'd made do with whatever garbage keyboard and garbage monitor $job dumped in front of me, but almost by happenstance I ended up with a 16:10 monitor and an IBM M4-1…

> they'd be able to make a form factor with more depth in the case

while the company certainly seems interested in providing options, i would strongly suspect that this level of variability would be a step (much) too far.

>> the best vehicle is a manual transmission brown diesel station wagon Wow, that's exactly what I own. Manual, diesel, brown, station wagon. 10 years old. Bought new though, still going strong. =)

What is it/where are you? I can't think of a single vehicle available in the US that fits that description since the 90's.

Yes, I'm living in Iceland. Our car market is quite a mix. It's mostly European/Asian commuters but also with plenty of bigger US cars, mostly pickups.

My specific model is a Renault Megane Estate.
