  I’m hoping for a mobile phone but based on the hints I think it will be a mobile gaming device

    That might be a bit niche to pursue. Like the mobile gaming device market isn’t that big, and devoting their limited resources to a niche product seems unwise.

    Would be cool if they did, especially if they partnered with Valve to launch it with steam OS, like valve did with Lenovo.

      I wonder if one of their existing mainboards would fit in the form factor of something like a Legion Go (which is quite a bit larger than a Steam Deck)

  My interpretation of the emojis:

  • Colorwheel + Yoga = Convertible laptop with pen/drawing support
  • Lighting = Fast
  • Controller/Cheetos = Suitable for gaming

  Sounds like a best of all worlds, I’m curious :)

    An alternative to the Surface Pro that easily runs Linux would be great - especially if more powerful than the StarLite

  14" UHD touchscreen plz

  • Eiri@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Touchscreen? Great!

    UHD though? In such a small form factor, it sounds like a needless battery drain. Or are there use cases I’m missing?

      I’ve got good vision and can see the difference

    This has been the main thing holding me back from purchasing a framework laptop

      15" would work too if they went with thin bezels a la XPS.

      But 16" is too big.

    Touchscreen is the only thing keeping me from a framework (though it would take some time to work up the cash if they announced it)

  I don’t think it’s a company that does overnight revolutions & disruptions (we are all used to consumerism too much), it’s about sustainability.

  They are doing a lot and in the right way imho.

  I would love a tablet and a phone (at some point) tho, even an open sauce wearable would be qewl :D.

  Tablet please 🙏(really small chance, I know)

  source
• megopie@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I can’t imagine they’d release a new chassis unless it was something radically different to their existing form factors, and even then, it would have to be a fairly big market sector, since they’re not really big enough to target anything niche.

  I just ordered a framework. Wonder if I should have waited…

  source

  • megopie@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    They’re probably not releasing a whole new model of laptop, and if they are, it’s probably a specialty design, like a steam deck or a surface as other’s have speculated.

    If it’s new components, you can probably drop them in if they interest you.

    I just got a Framework 16 about a year ago, and I’m not worried. I LOVE my fw, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. But I think the other commenters have the right of it, they’re probably leaning into either a tablet or a handheld game console.

    It was many months between announcement and release of their previous hardware. How soon do you need a laptop?

    source

    • calmluck9349@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I just got it today. So I’m still within 30 day return window.

  Cool, hope it’s something amazing!

  Have not read yet.

  Does framework try to use open source silicon where it can? Are schematics available for the CPU (or other chips)? Or is that not their thing?

  Numeric keypad pls
