Hey Nirav, thanks so much for the progress you and your team have done! Just had a question if there's been some benchmarking done for Linux on the new AMD and Intel mainboards.
We don't have any benchmarks we can share yet, but we absolutely expect that there will be press reviews that do comparisons between Intel and AMD-based Framework Laptops.

#234I 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. [1] https://frame.work/products/cooler-master-mainboard-case
salvaging old laptop battery as a power bank made me actually lol in real life.
It makes total sense! A half worn out battery may no longer be useful to you inside of your laptop, but can still be useful as an external power bank.

#235Oh there we go, modular GPU add in boards. Heyoooo! And they support other stuff! I wish the framework site was up, as I want to see what this specification looks like. If you look inside an Asus Zephyrus or whatever, the cooling setup needed to support such a thing in a thin laptop is mad . The 13", for instance, has a pancake sized 2D headspreader + liquid metal TIM, which very much goes against repairability. The…
The Expansion Bay interface repository is now up (as well as the Framework website).

I passed the Windows license through to a VM on mine. Not that I do much with it, but it does activate.
Ooh, how do you do that? I got a windows one, since I figured I may dual boot it, but I never do. A VM would be a good use of that license.

We'll be adding the Spanish (Castillian) keyboard before we open pre-orders in Spain this summer.

#238> Coming later in 2023: Belgium, Taiwan, Italy, Spain Does anybody know why they do this country by country roll out? I'd be perfectly happy to order a US layout laptop but they don't allow me to place an order.
We wrote a blog post a couple of years ago about what goes into launching into new countries: https://frame.work/blog/scaling-up-infrastructure

#239I wish Framework had more color options in their Marketplace (e.g gold, torquise, pink), especially considering how they advertise themselves as being modular / customizable.
We're adding more Bezel colors throughout the year. We have Transparent available now for pre-ordering. We've improved our manufacturing infrastructure for Bezels recently to make it much easier to create new colors than it was previously.

Nice! Will Linus be doing this?
