Luckily i don’t have the money for it
Credit cards don’t fail me now!
I also don’t have the money for it… Well shit I’ve got a batch 1 order time to find $2500 somehow.
👍Maximum Derek👍I dumped a cup of coffee in my laptop a month ago and was so bummed that it wasn’t for sale yet.
I haven’t been following this. Why would I want it?
JshKlsnIt’s a laptop that you can upgrade like a desktop.
You can also mix and match the ports on it, so you can do a combination of whatever ports you use and need most.
Oh that IS sexy.
It really is! And if you upgrade your laptop, you can use the old parts to build a mini desktop. They sell an enclosure. So nothing really goes to waste!
VikAnd if you had the means to, you could even 3D print your own enclosure since they (and other people) have published files for it.
I gather you can also repurpose the battery as a portable power pack but I’m not sure if this is specific to the 16
Replaceable everything. Deeply customizable.
and actually good
🌱 🐄🌱 If only I had 2000 euros to spare for this beauty…
here is the list of countries & regions they’re shipping to
Thank God they don’t ship here or I’d have bought it
I would immediately buy it, if it was 15".
My 16" laptop is smaller than my 15.6" because it has thinner bezels (tbh they were huge on the 15.6 dell)
It’s a 15" screen that’s slightly taller. That’s all.
When are they shipping?
“Q4 2024” so no firm date. They also have “Batches” so if you’re in batch 1 vs batch 4 delivery date will be different
Since no firm date I’m guessing very end of the year? I would think they would have said if it was earlier. Unfortunately I think the person I’m recommending needs a computer before that.
TakatakatakatakatakI have to lock in shipped specs potentially 18 months out?? So I’m buying an outdated laptop then?
The orders are currently up to Q1 2024, not Q4. The Q4 orders were for 2023. The 2023 pre-orders sold out in less than 10 hours.
Q4 2023
If I needed a laptop I’d get a framework, sure it’s a bit more expensive at the beginning but you’ll probably save in the long run. It’s also good to show there’s a market for user serviceable tech, hopefully forces big tech’s hand a bit.
I’ve placed a pre-order - I expect to be in the market for a laptop this year and considering the specs (especially the 2560x1600 165Hz screen) it’s within a reasonable range of an off the shelf gaming laptop. I keep my hardware for a long time (this will replace an i7-4000 series laptop) so repairability and upgrades matter a lot to me.
Great! That will fit on the shelf next to my Framework 13 Ryzen pre-order 😄
Numpad or no numpad? The choice is yours.
Was this a feature of the previous generation? This is really cool! Framework has settled the numpad debate.
No, it’s new
I’m really excited about these. I hope over time, some standard for modular laptops develops and it extends beyond Framework. Kind of like how we have ATX and ITX motherboards, for example. I don’t pretend to grasp all of the practical issues with making that happen, but it’d be a promising direction.
