As one of the QMK Firmware maintainers, it's great to see you're going ahead with the customisable side of things even on the input side. Might I suggest engaging with QMK early so that we can avoid the usual manufacturer "hey can you merge this, we've shipped already and forgot to raise the PR until now"?

Absolutely! We’ve been chatting with Jack Humbert, and he’s actually been prototyping an ortholinear keyboard module for the Framework Laptop 16. There are likely some photos of it in press articles about the event today.

An ortholinear keyboard? Wow, that’s my dream. Do you have the link? (and when will you eventually ship to Belgium?)

I’m happy to answer questions that everyone has about what we announced! It may be a little while until I’m able to jump back on though.

Hey! I pre-ordered an AMD version as soon as the site would handle it, but I wasn't able to choose between the mattte and glossy display. Is there any way to get the matte display with the new AMD option?

I think that review might be from before Linus invested in Framework. Not that I can verify it because the Linus Tech Tips channel is still banned.

It might be before we knew about the investment...

There are detailed videos from Linus on this topic. No conversation took place about investment until after he did his review video. When we first saw the video (at the same time as everyone else did), we assumed he was joking about wanting to invest.

Quick summary for those couldn't watch the livestream/load the website. - New Framework laptops are available using Intel 13th Gen and AMD 7040 series. - New 61Wh battery, new matte display option & a Cooler Master mainboard case for $39. - New 16 inch Framework laptop. Allows you to have a number pad or not, up to you and customizable. If I understood the livestream correctly, there are upgradable dedicated GPUs tha…

Does it mean I can finally get a high end laptop without a discrete gpu?

Yep! The Graphics Module is optional.

The Matte display version is pre-installed on all 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Framework Laptops. If you do want a glossy display, it's available as a module in the Marketplace to swap in (or you can pick up an older 11th Gen, 12th Gen, or Chromebook Edition which also have the original display).

Tell me you work in ops with out saying you work in ops. :-) Btw, this is excellent advice. Funny story, I have a FreeNAS device and the motherboard died and I thought "Oh my, I need to bring my ZFS volumes up on another machine, but I didn't have another machine with 6 SATA bays!

https://github.com/Lillecarl/nixos/blob/master/shitbox/disko... this is my declarative partitioning scheme, I use mdraid, LUKS, LVM and btrfs. I also mirror my bootloader so if one drive dies I can still boot :) Hardware raid is legacy :)

That's only until the machine in question is 5000km away and the soonest time you can get to it is in the three months.

Sure, for personal usage there is almost no usage for the HW RAID, but when you need to make sure what the system would always boot and it can't be serviced in hours/days - then you have almost no options for SW RAID.

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.

Depends how your Windows was licensed; if you had OEM license with license key that you had to type in (this is usually when Windows license is an option), or if the key was embedded in BIOS (when Windows license is provided and it is not an option).

In the second case, you have to pass through SLIC and MSDM ACPI tables from host to guest. For example, like this: https://gist.github.com/Informatic/49bd034d43e054bd1d8d4fec3...

Why even try to use the hardware raid? I can't imagine it actually performs any better than mdraid, and with mdraid the drives are as portable as plain drives. You could destroy the special laptop and stick the drives into usb enclosures and access the array again on any other machine.

Heh, you were "lucky": I had a 4-drive NAS that died on me, and no motherboard lying around at all, let alone one with 4+ SATA ports.

I bought four cheap SATA-USB3 adapters, plugged them into two USB3 hubs, which I then plugged into the two USB3 ports of a Raspberry Pi 4, and arranged it all quite precariously in a small cardboard box that I cut holes into for airflow. Performance was terrible, of course, but it worked well enough until I could build a proper new NAS box.

What would be battery capacity of 16 inch model? Please let it be - 99.9Whr. :-)

Congrats on the Launch. This might be Framework Laptop I finally could use as my daily driver for regular dev. work etc.
