I can't wait to own one of these when they start offering AMD

Simply out of curiosity, why do you have this sentiment? I've seen it given a lot as the reason why people don't want to buy one yet, but the performance differences are slim compared the current Tiger Lake option; perhaps 10-20% on certain quad core workloads, more if optimized for octa, but worse on single and dual. Additionally, by the time the Ryzen CPU comes along, likely the Alder Lake processor will be release…

More cores for running k8s locally.

It's interesting they chose such a compact form factor for their laptop right from the beginning. I'd reckon a 15.6" build would have been much easier to put together for modularity and ease of repair, and maybe once it gained traction they could have expanded to smaller forms. Their initial customer base (I'm guessing it'd be engineers and enthusiasts) would also have been compatible with a bigger laptop, even if the mainstream laptop market has been overrun with small devices for some reason.

I believe they recently got more funding to expand operations because Linus from LTT said he was personally investing in them. That makes me feel a little bit better about waiting for a 14" form factor and/or an AMD chip

> I believe they recently got more funding to expand operations because Linus from LTT said he was personally investing in them. That makes me feel a little bit better about waiting for a 14" form factor and/or an AMD chip IIRC he wasn't even a main investor and his investment was around 200k, which isn't that much.

Sure but he was able to be one because they recently did raise funds and had a tiny bit leftover.

You know what I would love to see? The mechanical keyboard community get a hold of this. Actually, what would be kinda cool and a bit more "practical" (in a since, at least) would be an option without any keyboard at all (plain aluminum or like plexiglass or acrylic or something) so I can use my own keyboard. I know from experience my Planck or Atreus fit on top of a normal laptop keyboard footprint, but I always fee…

I’d buy immediately a module with a blank 60% ortholinear layout (possibly with QMK support)

I can't remember the last time I so badly wanted a company to succeed AND also believed it was possible for them to thrive. I think the landscape is right: awareness of reparability is probably at the highest its ever been, along with access to information and tools. The chip shortage and general lack of breakthrough gains in processing aside from Zen has stalled the upgrade cycles a bit, giving Framework time to dig…

I hope this company grows and never forgets its openness. I'd love to see them absorb an open source phone, like Pine Phone, and create a cohesive open platform and device ecosystem. Imagine if they grew big enough to buy out Remarkable. Note taking, ebooks, ... I'd love to have all my hardware and productivity tools from an open company and have them all be hackable, extensible, repairable, and interoperable. Maybe…

Centralize open hardware under an ex-Facebook team? No thanks. We can encourage more competition and innovation, in many niches.

Oh nice, I didn't see options to replace the ports shown in the image with USB C. I'm supposing that's in the configuration wizard when you elect to buy?

In the wizard you get modules. You can hot swap modules because the are really USB-C under the hood. The laptop essentially has 4 USB-C ports and a module system to plug adapters in. You can avoid dongles this way. I'm not entirely sure why they did 4. 4 is more than other competitor laptops in this size category have. It could have to do with what the processor can handle or the space in a form factor of this size.

Looking further at the chips, they only support up to 4 external displays. I wonder if 4 is somehow otherwise a factor down to the CPU/integrated GPU level.

There isn’t the thickness necessary for mechanical switches. What I’d love is to see some ergonomic layouts, kind of like Corne or Kyria (staggered columns and thumb cluster).

Running Manjaro KDE on mine. Only issue is typical Linux hibernation drains the battery. Otherwise flawless, fingerprint reader even works with KDE once configured.

Does is sleep properly on lid closing? Even more specifically, can you enable S3 sleep from the Bios? Some newer laptops have things locked down so sleep doesn't work right on Linux, meaning the laptop dies after a few hours of the lid being closed.

(Not GP)

You pretty much have the option between s2Idle, s2deep, and hibernation. The s2Idle mode is really responsive, but it drains battery at a really high rate. s2deep isn't technically supported IIRC; I was able to turn it on and have seen the battery life under sleep improve, but it takes about 10 seconds to wake up to a point where I can log in.

If I know I'm going to be away from my laptop for a long time, I'll generally put it in hibernation mode.

There might be a better solution out there, but the general consensus seems to be that Linux + Tiger Lake aren't a great marriage at the moment when it comes to sleep.

Arch Wiki tells you how to use s2deep, if you want to enable it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Framework#Suspend

EDIT: I said 10 minutes before, where I meant 10 seconds. Sorry about that.
