We now support volume ordering in all countries we ship to. You can order multiple in-stock laptops per order. For larger quantities or multiple units of pre-order laptops, our B2B team can help you out: https://frame.work&#x2F

There's a pretty extensive thread here on eGPUs: https://community.frame.work/t/egpu-support/1722 The most popular choices seem to be Razer Core X or DIYing it with an ADT-Link R43SG ( https://commu

We'll be writing a more detailed blog post, but basically it involves forcing the retimers into a suspend state when they should be suspended in more cases. In theory, this should happen anyway, but we're apparently hitting some

The firmware update mentioned in the blog post includes some improvements related to retimer suspend behavior on both 11th Gen and 12th Gen units that should improve suspend battery life on Linux.

As always, I'm happy to answer any questions around this (though the blog post pretty much covers it!).

If it was anyone but Palmer, my assumption would be that it is satire. However, since it is Palmer, my assumption is that he did actually build enough of it for it to be lethal if fully armed, and that it is genuinely a tribute to SAO rath

The context for this (which Apple of course wants to avoid shining too much light on) is this: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinese-cities-brace-wav... A combination of isolation of the manufacturing site,

Yep, we've heard the ask and the feedback. I wrote a response in an earlier in an earlier thread on why we don't communicate on hardware plans: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32180273

Thanks for the feedback. As noted by folks elsewhere in the comments here, the lived experience with Linux on the Framework Laptop is highly dependent on which distribution you use, and specifically, the distros policy on taking on and del

What we’ve been doing that has worked well for the last 2.5 years: 1. We do a weekly team meeting that has an open Q&A element to it. Whenever someone new joins the team, we ask them to do a self-intro sharing hobbies and interests and

To keep inventory streamlined for this product, we only have a single configuration of the product. It is super easy to open up and add more memory to though. We include a screwdriver in the box and encourage you to explore the inside.

It is indeed. The intent of that is to communicate that no matter what the OS is doing, the privacy switches for the camera and microphone are yours to control. The switches function at hardware level with no possibility of software overr

We have "Register your interest" set up for other countries currently. Depending on how much interest there is, this is something we will consider as we go forward.

I noted this in another comment, but that mainboard swap should work. You'll likely need a Chromebook-specific Input Cover and Webcam for full functionality though, and this is an upgrade path we have done limited validation effort on

The power optimizations are in the Mainboard electrical design, firmware, and OS, and improve both standby and in-use efficiency. The battery itself is identical to the one in other Framework Laptops. On the storage, we use Western Digital

I would be interested in understanding what issues you are seeing on Windows. We do quite a bit of validation on Windows. A sibling comment shared the fix for the brightness keys, but you can also grab that information from our setup guide

Correct. We've just updated the blog post with the proper description from Google, which is "automatic updates through June 2030."

We do have some learnings that would apply back to 11th Gen that are early in development. We also have a beta firmware for DisplayPort Expansion Cards that improves one area of active/standby power consumption, which applies to both

Technically, yes! You may also need the Chromebook-specific Input Cover and Webcam though for full functionality.

The Chromebook Edition keyboard will work on a regular Framework Laptop. It is just physically missing the fn and Win/super keys and has fn row artwork that won't match.

Theoretically something like that could be possible, but that is not how we operate. Hardware products have typically >12 month development timelines. We opened pre-orders today with shipments starting in a little over 2 months from no

In practice, full, stable hardware compatibility and battery life. The Linux experience on the Framework Laptop on recent distros (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04.1) is solid, but battery life will still generally be better running Ubuntu on top of Chro

Google has fairly strict requirements around power consumption. They have a standard test for 10 hours of active use through common use cases, which we were able to meet. For standby, the requirement is around 14 days. I have to double c

It's a valid question. Since there are few to no current products in this segment, we really are testing it. We get to do tests like this much more efficiently than most because we can leverage our existing modular product and build

Yep, this is indeed the main reason behind this. We polled the community and found a pretty even split between several major distros. Rather than having inventory explosion from a large number of OS-specific SKUs, we optimized for shippin

It is technically possible to, and we've provided development systems to a few coreboot developers. This is something we'll be putting more energy into next year as we grow the Framework team.

Sibling comment got it correct, but worth noting that you can install ChromeOS Flex on a regular Framework Laptop. It won't have the same level of optimization that the Chromebook Edition has, and Google only has functionality like th
