I would buy a 15/16” version of this in a heartbeat :) I really hope another chassis with a larger screen is in the cards for framework!

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
I see there are only DDR4 options. Presumably if you bring your own memory, that also has to be DDR4. Why no DDR5?
When we started developing this product last year, we looked at price trends and performance data on DDR4 vs DDR5 and made the bet that DDR5 would have both price and availability issues in 2022. That has turned out to be the case, with DDR5 SO-DIMMs typically going for 50-70% over the equivalent DDR4 capacity, without delivering performance improvements to justify that premium. This is something that will improve in…
When I read this, I got really excited about a company having a well thought out, rational reason for a decision. And then I realized how sad that is.

#43This is exciting! I’m very seriously looking at upgrading my mainboard and repurposing the 11th Gen I’ve got now into a DIY project!
I’ve been VERY happy with my Framework and am glad to see this update.

#44I'm on an 11th gen and just ordered another one a week ago.
Great daily driver!

I like the 13" but totally agree.
Re: The new and upgraded Framework Laptop
#46I'm happy to answer any questions around this! We've been working on this since update since we launched the product last year, so we're excited to be able to share it today.
Quoted post unavailable.
you're mentioning euros and GBP as well though; could currency conversion and import taxes explain the difference?

This disclaimer -from a company that picks their hw components none the less- is cold water to Linux in the desktop as any sort of "solved" problem

#48Will board schematics be available for repairs? Something Louis has been asking for.

Well to be fair, no desktop experience is solved if one isn't allowed to apply adjustments for their hardware (drivers, user space tools and whatnot).
My experience on Linux certainly isn't flawless, but I have about as many issues whenever I'm handed a Windows laptop as others have trying Linux. Computers suck.

It is laptop, not desktop ;)
