I'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.
They should make this part available to existing users as a warranty replacement. It sounds like they've addressed a common complaint on their support forums.
The lid that flops over because of the hinge's weakness, and the absurd excuses made by company personnel (they claim it was designed this way "to accommodate opening the laptop with one hand," as if the people who open a laptop with one hand do not need the lid to stay upright) has been a great disappointment for me with this laptop. It is a design defect, not a feature, for the hinge to be this weak.
edit: apparently they're talking about this, so I guess we're stuck with the weak hinge:
There are "battery life improvement" will those be available to 1st gen Frameworks motherboard or is it hardware related ? And do anyone know if the bug in the HDMI card preventing it to go to sleep is still a thing / need a firmware update / is hopeless ?
We have a firmware update in testing to improve shut down (S5) drain. For s0ix, we are investigating firmware paths to reduce power consumption. The card itself actually does go to into a low power state, but the USB4/TBT4 retimer stays in a higher power state. That is something we were able to fix in a combination of hardware and firmware on the new 12th Gen Intel Core systems for s0ix/Modern Standby. We're investig…
Would you consider having someone on the team do a more in depth technical write-up of the work that went into the battery life optimization? I'd personally be very interested in reading that as a long time Linux laptop user.

Why is the SN750/SN850 the default SSD, given it has relatively high power consumption[1] and separately is there any reason to believe that building a DIY version with a different SSD wouldn't work? [1] https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-black-sn850-m-2-nvme...
I'm on an 11th gen and just ordered another one a week ago. Great daily driver!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know this gets asked a lot and isn't really about this new upgraded model but.. Any news on plans for AMD models?
> Any news on plans for AMD models? This is the only thing stopping me from getting a Framework laptop right now. I'd pay a premium for it as well.

Will all software shipped with the hardware when ordered with GNU/Linux be Free or will there be non-Free software such as the BIOS/UEFI? EDIT: I just realized that you cannot order this laptop with GNU/Linux pre installed. I was mistaken.
Will board schematics be available for repairs? Something Louis has been asking for.
We recently released the subset of schematics that we were able to. Louis did a recent video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJj8PUY0DU
