This is the first laptop in a long time i am excited for. My wife has a first generation framework and loves it. I have never had a laptop so easily to upgrade and modify and change.
My aging old heavy beastly laptop is at its end. I will be preordering framework as soon as it available. This could be that laptop for me, portability and functionality of a latpop with customization and upgradability for a desktop. So, so excited.
When we preordered a first gen framework, was a bit nervous but framework has been amazing. An American company that does laptops right. Who knew?

I'd love it if companies made laptop parts available like desktop parts at a similar price. I would totally love to pimp out my laptop after so many years of use. Tweaking laptops takes a little more skill but once you do it a few times its simple.
Dude internal is literally doing what I wish other laptop companies would do. I'm really hoping the concept takes off and that other companies notice and do the same thing. Companies like Dell, HP, and ASUS.

Wow, the ability to turn the old mobo combo in a highly portable and stylish looking pc is fantastic! I often sticked to laptaps much longer than I should have coz they were still usable with concessions and I totally refused to reward any company with a new purchase coz of their shitty closed system policy but with this, ha my family members will be happy when I intend to upgrade (they usually keep running my legacy stuff).

This is one of my favorite initiatives in the entire computing industry. I am beyond just interested in their success and really want to get my hands on one of these 16 systems soon after they launch. The pre-production designs there are absolutely awesome looking and I can only imagine they will continue to get better. The concept and exchangeable parts for more than just ports is absolutely amazing.

I leafed through the repair and upgrade components, and the fact they offer refurbished and new products, and that they are all very modular. It's a mod and repair paradise! Just the fact that if your mobo burns out you can get not only a direct replacement mainboard, but upgrade to a higher spec series CPU, or even a newer version is incredible. Even get louder speakers if wanted!

Considering how they are expanding their lineup and parts, I assume they are making good sales. Awesome. I really want it to be my next laptop. Some more pro's to this approach: good resale as u can easily repair and upgrade. And don't necessarily need a desktop machine, as you can upgrade the mainboard as well as GPU on the 16. Would like to see others follow suit

Another good step for Framework's but my big condition to consider buying it is that the schematics get published publicly, not only for repairshops. The owner should be able to repair his own machine, this used to be the standard! I can imagine that Frameworks has to deal with other companies who nag to not publish the schematics publicly, please push harder.

Being able to re-use the mainboard and battery in a case is absolutely brilliant as not only they help reduce e-waste. It also helps sell more user removable modules for framework. Will definitely be picking up a framework 16 as need those numkeys - finally a user serviceable laptop to replace my ancient 17inch HP 4730s!

Hoping Framework can create a 16x PCIe4/5 riser cable connector for an eGPU enclosure, for something like a Desktop RTX 4090. Mini ITX is now near impossible with these phat GPUs, and road warriors want top-tier gaming without having to pay the (gimped) Nvidia mobile 40 series tax.

Love the concept. Sad to see that you can't choose the glossy display for the most recent platforms. And when I chose Intel 12th Gen I find that the German keyboard isn't available anymore. So what do I do now? Buy Intel 13th Gen and an ADDITIONAL glossy display kit? Probably not.

This company ticks literally every box I could possibly think of or ask for. I adore seeing this company grow in the spite of Apple et al's practices of soldering everything together and making everything disposable in the process. Its such a beautiful thing to see.

I'd buy the AMD 7000 series with a 780m igpu in a heartbeat when it's available here.
That igpu will make the thin and light a decent little gaming machine while only sipping power.
Dgpus in laptops don't really excite me, I've had bad experiences with them.

These are just excuses that make you feel better when buying shining new stuff, not saving the planet. And you pay more for something less durable, less powerful. If you want to save the planet, just hold on to your stuff longer, you don't need this modular crap.
