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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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).

The timing's pretty good with Gnome (Mutter) releasing VRR hopefully in the next release? Some compositors have good support already too!

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

Could you share video samples from the new webcam?

We have a blog post coming up where we'll share more about the webcam and some captures from it.

How's the battery on this one? I'm hoping to upgrade from 11th gen intel i7. If possible, upgrading by just swapping the mainboard would be amazing.

It should be a pretty noticeable improvement if you're coming from 11th Gen. When we send out press units, you'll see reviewers doing comparison reviews across generations.

Looking forward to it, very happy customer!
