With 12th Gen, 6-7 hours looks like around what we'd expect for normal, real life usage on Linux. With 13th Gen or Ryzen 7040 Series, we've seen even better, e.g. (though on Windows for this reviewer): https://arstechn

The physical key mechanism is the same as on the Framework Laptop 13 (the same tooling too). The LTT video noted that they found flex in the mid plate that the keyboard rests on, which we are investigating.

The keyboards we requested artwork feedback on are all ones that we're working with our keyboard supplier on, but we don't have specific availability timelines that we can share. We certainly make sure to have the main keyboards

Note that that only applies to Framework Laptop 16, which we've seen massive pre-order demand on. Both the Intel and AMD Framework Laptop 13 models ship within a week from inventory.

We can't share anything about future product plans, but in general, as few as possible. We want to avoid splitting out into too many different ecosystems of parts, and instead maximize the size of the install base within a cross-compa

We actually do have an "English International - Linux" keyboard option that has a Super key instead.

USB4 support is present on the rear left and right Expansion Card slots on our Ryzen-powered Framework Laptop 13 and Framework Laptop 16.

The Expansion Cards are cross-compatible (as are memory [if you have DDR5] and storage), but the other modules are unique to Framework Laptop 13 vs Framework Laptop 16. We did that to be able to fully optimize for each form factor.

We certainly hope so! We handed some early adapter boards to the community members who were working on it, so we hope that they'll be able to show some initial prototypes quickly.

We currently have a blank keyboard module available in both ANSI and ISO! For other keyboard layouts like Dvorak, it is technically possible, but we don't have a timeline for it.

Hi, just clarifying on this. There are two primary causes for historical closed orders having “outstanding balance.” The first is fraction of cent balances from differences in different systems on how taxes were calculated. Another is due

Same here! A CMoy amp in an Altoids tin was the first useful project I soldered up while in high school years ago. Part of what made it accessible to a high schooler at the time was that you could sample the Burr Brown amps for free. Obv

As expected, most folks are reacting directly to the headline. The study protocols are more interesting and informative: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3287846/v1 Basically, the key factor here appears

No, it’s unlikely you’ll ever need to replace the liquid metal. It is indeed substantially more expensive (e.g. dollars instead of cents) due to both the material cost and the extra process steps. We’re not the first to do liquid metal in

We're writing a step by step replacement guide with videos, but it is pretty straightforward. You let the system cool, remove the heatsink, take off the solidified liquid metal pad using a sticker, apply the new liquid metal pad that

The Input Module system means that it's possible to develop a module with additional keys that sits to the side of the keyboard. We have a few members of the community who have started on module projects that accomplish this.

The Mainboard and Graphics mode aren't directly attached. They are connected through an Interposer cable that has 4x of the custom FXBeam connectors on an FPC.

Yes MXM has been abandoned by the companies that were originally driving it, though there is still some industrial usage. One of the major issues with MXM is that it assumes the add-in cards stack on the mainboard, resulting in a thick syst
