Yep, that is roughly right. We had some pictures of the the top side of the Expansion Bay Modules in the presentation yesterday.

S3 is unfortunately pretty much dead all-around, but S0ix continues to improve. We have firmware optimizations going in on both the system side and the Expansion Card side to help reduce bad retimer behavior around suspend though which imp

Yes, the interposer connector we use is similar to what Dell used for DGFF. They didn't publish specs or pinouts though, so we developed our own and released them publicly on GitHub: https://github.com/FrameworkCompute

That is correct, we are making both ANSI and ISO Keyboard Modules for the Framework Laptop 16.

What we shared today is an early developer preview of the new module systems. We’ll be sharing full product specifications when we open pre-orders this Spring.

This is correct. We’ll share more detailed product photography and dimensions this Spring when we open preorders.

The Expansion Card system and Webcam Module are shared between the Framework Laptop 13 (which we also announced a number of upgrades for yesterday) and the new Framework Laptop 16. The other parts are new, which lets us enable higher perfo

We have the Framework Laptop DIY Edition that ships without an OS or OS license specifically to make sure folks don’t have to do this and can bring the OS that they want.

Yes, for today, we’re showing an early developer preview to let folks get started on Expansion Bay and especially Input Module development. We’ll share more information on the laptop this spring and throughout the year.

We would love to see that project! As before, we’re making the key modules possible to get good use of outside of the laptop.

Thanks for this super detailed and correct response! We are holding our hope that the miracle chip will appear some day to make it possible. In the meantime, we have seen a community member start developing a Dual USB-C Expansion Card that

Jack Humbert (behind both QMK and OLKB) is actually working on an ortholinear keyboard module for the Framework Laptop 16! We had a mockup of it at the event.

We see interesting use cases for the small modules on the left and right as well if you are not some who wants to slide the keyboard to the left and put a numpad on the right. We’re showing a prototype of an LED Matrix that can be used for

I think the poster is stating that their family has four gaming laptops, but zero Framework Laptops, since our first product only shipped in 2021. On your trackpad, could you reach out to our support team? We definitely want to resolve tha

We’ve been very deliberate about making this not a traditional gaming laptop, but a laptop that can be configured with enough performance to play intense games. You can configure it without the Graphics Module and have a high-performance 1

I’m happy to answer questions that folks have on this. There was also an earlier HN thread on our full launch event where we announced 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7040 Series versions of the Framework Laptop 13, along with a bunch of

This is correct. We shared the draft pinout in this repository.

Our latest beta BIOS updates improve the power consumption while using USB-A Expansion Cards on 11th and 12th Gen. We have some additional improvements we’re working on around this on HDMI and DP cards as well. For the brightness key&#x2F

We announced today that we’re opening preorders for our new products this summer in Belgium (and Italy, Spain, and Taiwan).

The key structure actually is the same as the Framework Laptop 13, including the same key travel. The overall module is different though to handle the interface differences, in a way that makes it not possible to retrofit into a Framework

That is a really interesting idea and something we'll explore.

by nrp 4y ago
Awesome! The e75 looks like it should be feasible. I've just reached out.

Split ortholinear is possible. We didn't show this, but it is technically possible to build an Input Module for the Framework Laptop 16 that is full width, giving a lot of horizontal real estate for a split layout.
354.
by nrp 4y ago
Absolutely. We really hope to see the secondary market emerge as well. As Framework Laptop owners upgrade to new Mainboards, we want to make sure those old Mainboards either get reused by the same person, or resold to another user who can

While we didn’t show a Touchpad module alternative, the Touchpad module does slide off, making alternatives technically possible. We’ll share documentation around this module as well soon.

It's ultimately inventory costs and supply chain complexity to manage a larger number of laptop SKUs (CPU options * DIY/pre-built * keyboard options * any other configurable variable). We're a small team, so when there are a

It's plausible to use something like a DisplayLink controller, or for lower resolution even a microcontroller with flexible high speed peripherals like an RP2040 with the PIO interface.

The Matte display version is pre-installed on all 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Framework Laptops. If you do want a glossy display, it's available as a module in the Marketplace to swap in (or you can pick up an older

There are detailed videos from Linus on this topic. No conversation took place about investment until after he did his review video. When we first saw the video (at the same time as everyone else did), we assumed he was joking about wanti
