I like everything about it but:
- the weird power cable (did they cheapen out on PD? for just 7.5W there's no need to do something like that)
- the lack of exposed GPIO header (no hacking, they could have just left in unpopulated)
- the bigger size (the Odroid Go Advance was just the right size)
- the lack of option for a 10000 mAh battery
Hopefully, the framework laptop starts a new trend of devices where you can keep the shell and screen (just replacing the inside) and new motherboards can be swapped-in, with the old one returned and resold or recycled.
A subscription-basis model for motherboard upgrade or damaged case replacement could help a big reduce the waste from people updating their phone every year.
- riskable 4y ago> did they cheapen out on PD? For this question I think I know the answer: USB PD chips are hard to obtain right now. So they probably left it out just due to a lack of general (reliable) availability.

- nfriedly 4y agoAgree woth you on the power cable. It does have exposed GPIO, though! You can see the connector above the CPU and other microchips in the first motherboard picture. This is in keeping with the Odroid Go Super design, which also had exposed GPIO in that location. The bigger size allows for a much better screen. But I agree that you loose something in pocketability. I suppose technically you could upgrade the battery yourself. Although a larger battery is at ods with that size constraint. Eyeballing it, I would guess that you can swap the motherboard out from the previous generation Odroid Go Super, so that may actually be an option. I don't think I'd want a subscription, but sure some people might go for that.
