Earlier quoted context omitted.

FWIW, the ordering page lets you also choose AMD Ryzen 350 / HX 370. It's not the Strix Halo chips you're hoping for, but it is something.

Hilariously, those AMD chips are way behind the Intels in terms of memory. First off, I believe that Intel has its memory far more "unified". AMD typically has a stricter VRAM/RAM 'tradeoff' setting that does not exist on Intel in the same way to my knowledge. (See how on Strix Halo systems, there is a thing about "allocating" 96 GB to the GPU, which seems to be needed sometimes but prevents the CPU from accessing th…

I’ve got the Framework desktop with strix halo. You can reserve memory for the GPU, but it’s straightforward at least on Linux to have the GPU dynamically grab memory as needed. I’ve got my VRAM set to 512MB and regularly use 120GB+for AI stuff.

I’m happy to answer questions folks have around the product (later today).

I love it, I've been waiting for years to buy a Framework, but my current laptop has so far refused to die. I think it's now finally old enough to justify upgrading.

Will the new keyboard colour schemes come to other locales? I love the orange/black/grey but probably not enough to learn American English.

Is the keyboard for the 13 pro the same? The upgrade kits I'm seeing on the marketplace have a keyboard included. Would it be possible to have a input cover pro, bottom cover pro, batteries pro, speakers pro and use my existing keyboard?

Tagging along: will they ever get QMK?

> up to 64GB of LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X That's a non-starter. Why not 128GB or push boundary for 256GB?

Because no one makes larger LPCAMM2 modules. But Framework's CEO says he expects higher density modules in the future: https://youtu.be/GnOpIQJnYWU?si=UBMfW7SsiNjwJ1fo&t=292

I'm really looking forward to having this as the go-to laptop to recommend to devs again. The original Framework chassis was really showing it's age next to e.g. a MacBook Pro or the new XPS 14. Having mainline Linux on a system with 24h+ battery life in a 13" case is pretty damn impressive.

> Having mainline Linux on a system with 24h+ battery life in a 13" case is pretty damn impressive. Does it have such battery life on Linux? The benchmarks, apart from suspend battery life, are for Windows.

I’d prefer a non-touchscreen. Touchscreen does add about 200g of weight. Is that likely to be an option?

Exactly. Why would I touch my screen? My hands are on the keyboard, I'm not lifting them.
