For folks who'd rather read than watch, Tom's Hardware has a summary: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/framework-laptop-13-16-amd...

tl;dr: A 16" laptop with modular dedicated graphics (PCIe x8 either v4 or v5 with fans on the module), expansion bay cards (dual m.s SSDs), a new 'input system' with multiple keyboards in multiple languages and optional RGB lighting as well as support for numpads and secondary displays. Target launch is 'late 2023'.

I love how this launch included new reuse paths for old components, including a new mainboard case [1] and battery / screen case designs. If Framework maintains mechanical compatibility between generations, things are going to get really interesting.

Hopefully a matte screen option??? That's the one thing holding me back from getting one. Those stickers they offer don't cut it. Amd vs Intel doesn't really bother me either way but a matte screen is an absolute must.

Don't have time to check now with the site being so slow but will do later. Good to see the amount of attention this receives though.

I can't wait for them to announce an arm-based cpu board, it's only a matter of time(I keep telling myself)

I've been wishing for something similar, I think it's a great opportunity for desktop-style arm computing to shine.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They even said they had beefed up their servers to meet demand. I guess they need to add even more servers.

Clearly they need repairable and upgradeable servers.

Site is back (with a warning/notice of it being slow) now
