We tell the detailed story on the product pages: https://frame.work/products/laptop https://frame.work/products/laptop We've built a 13.5" notebook where every part of the hardware is replaceable or upgradeable by the end user. That includes memory and storage, which are increasingly soldered down on new laptops, but also the entire mainboard to be able to move to new CPU generations. We've done this without sacrificing performance or form factor. We use 11th Gen Intel CPUs and the product is approximately the thickness and weight of a MacBook Pro 13-inch.

  Definitely, though nothing we're announcing yet! The /products/ is in part because we also offer the DIY Edition: https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-edition https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-edition

> That includes memory and storage, which are increasingly soldered down on new laptops This is a sad day, when replaceable memory and storage has to be highlighted in a product. I applaud the initiative. Getting future motherboards in the same form factor would definitely be a novelty in the laptop market, AFAIK. I wish I could just buy an upgraded motherboard for my 13-year n130, for instance. The next step would be to adopt the EOMA68 form-factor, but that laptop is a more progressive approach. Have you tried to get closer to fairphone?

Does it dissipate heat efficiently or will it nearly melt down the second I type make into the terminal like every other laptop I've ever owned including gamer laptops with at least 3 noisy fans? Linux support?

  They highlight an oversized thermal solution to reduce thermal throttling, and say that they’re working on support of popular distros on their product page.
