dvdnet90Framework 16 inch laptop ready for preorder
MeowdyPardnerI really want to love the framework but I'm holding out in case they make a 16:9 version sometime. I watch a lot of streaming / YouTube and it would bug me because I don't think I've ever watched 16:10 content. I don't really care that much about an inch or so more vertical space since I don't need to fit huge code blocks on my screen that often, nor do I really work on my laptop much in the first place - it's primarily a media consumption machine.
The HobbyistIf you want to keep the whole laptop 16 the same, including dimensions but just want to change the display, you’ll just end up having more bezels and wasted space.
If you’re hoping for a new form factor optimized around 16:9, who knows if that would come out, but I have a feeling the narrow laptop form factor would have reduced size for the battery, and other components which seem like an undesirable tradeoff.
Only alternative I could imagine making potential sense would be a 17in+ version in 16:9?
But they are all unlikely, I would imagine.
