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. [1] https://frame.work/products/cooler-master-mainboard-case

salvaging old laptop battery as a power bank made me actually lol in real life.

The way the numpad is fully optional on the 16" is great. I get that numpads are non-optional for some but for my usage it's mostly a nuisance, which makes the non-optional numpads on a lot of laptops a near-dealbreaker.

For me they were completely useless too but I've remapped mine to a 3x3 desktop switcher and some other hotkeys on KDE. Now I can't do without it, it's like having 9 computers in one <3

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.

Yep, they have that now.

Great! Thanks I can't get the site to load on my phone. I'll definitely consider it then.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Already a thing? And is hardware the limiting thing here? Not the terrible arm OSes? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/02/lenovo-announces-the...

Arm on linux works pretty well.

The blog pages are functional for me right now: New 16" Model: https://frame.work/blog/introducing-the-framework-laptop-16 New 13" Models with Intel 13th Gen and AMD 7000 series https://frame.work/blog/framework-laptop-13-with-13th-gen-in...

Works for me, thanks.

But the linked Github repos for the (GPU) expansion bay and the input module are still private/dead. :/

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…

Is one of the models of CPU available the 7840HS?

This sounds fantastic, I very well may buy a Framework laptop later this week/weekend.

EDIT: Their site came back up, after reading the blog post I pre-ordered the Ryzen 7 13" to be my new Linux laptop.

Every time Framework is brought up, there's a chorus of people saying they won't buy until they release an AMD edition, and as one of them this is great to see. Edit: Also the input deck and the ability to attach an egpu as well as upgrade to a newer egpu in the future are huge. This is a fantastic leap forward for Framework.

Or some arbitrary AI accelerator! Jim Keller should make a Tenstorrent board. They already want to make desktop cards, and that would be a great way to market them.

Yeah the possibilities are exciting to say the least, the ability to specialize your laptop into an AI processing powerhouse on the fly could be very valuable.
