And this kind of thing is why my next laptop will be one of theirs
I like the philosophy and approach from them, but I think one of those Tuxedo ARM notebooks will be my next computer purchase. I’ve been jealous of the speed and battery life of people around me with M-Series MacBooks for a few years now, but unwilling to go to the OS and Asahi isn’t there for me yet.
I don't see such laptops on tuxedo site. Are they some upcoming models?
Never heard of Ashahi. Seems like a OS Linux clone?
Ah I see. Linux on apple silicon. Nice.
currently on a thinkpad t480 and im looking for framework to start shipping their products to the asian market in the next 5 to 10 years as i will be buying from them when this t480 finally kicks the bucket
when this t480 finally kicks the bucket
So 2178?
yeah...
Same for me, but still no shipping for my country, so I just bought a used T490 which will serve my needs for 4 years and then I'll go for framework; hopefully they are still kicking by then. If shipping was available I would for sure have gone for their 13'' laptop even though it's much more expensive and powerful than I need for personal use.
Only reason I didn't switch yet was that my 6 years old Laptop still holds perfectly well and it would be counter productive to just change to a new device for no reason but the brand and that it is new
What is your 6 year old laptop's make?
An Asus UX550GE, tbh with time my usage of a laptop has diminished, that's it's still enough today too
I'm on an Asus UX410U and he's been going well for 7 years. I'll probably need to replace it this year or next year as the screen is starting to go, but I feel 7 years is pretty good.
My t440s is 10 years now. Still going strong as my main and only computer. Although, those frame.works's look really nice.
You could always pass it on to someone who can't afford a new one, a school student for example
Here's hoping this helps with getting a thinkpad keyboard into one of these things, I love my t420 to bits but sooner or later I'd like something a bit more efficient
Here's the feature request for a TrackPoint on a Framework. Hope they change their mind, because a pointing stick is the most obvious use case for Framework 16's input modules.
Third party module possible. Convince dell to make thinkpad keyboard module ;)
I went with a Thinkpad for my most recent upgrade but I really, really wanted a Framework. If there was a straightforward trackpoint keyboard kit available for the Framework I’d be all in next round. There’s no love lost between Lenovo and I at this point.
Hot sauce! I didn’t know about that. Gonna follow that thread for sure. A laptop with good Linux support, choice of CPU, trackpoint that’s upgradeable and and supports hot pluggable hackable modules! This is the future I want to be in!
Nice maybe we'll get some cheep Chinese knockoffs.. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing
Until your knees & thighs start burning.
Fingers crossed for a touchpad with physical buttons.
Physical buttons is so 2010
To a lot of laptop manufacturers, it certainly seems that way as of late - that's why I'm ever hopeful that a modular laptop, such as the framework, might give us the option of how we want to control a mouse cursor.
So they will be earning money from people that helps them on the open sourced design ?
While losing money from people who didn't buy frames manufactured by them, yes. That's the point of open source, to let the community have ownership of the design and to make your business model less reliant on intellectual property.
Damn man, Tiger looks higher than hell in that pic.

I think a regimen of heavy drinking and exercising to stay relatively fit can take that kind of a toll on a person

Dell used to have pointing sticks (branded TrackStick or Dual Point) in some of their business laptops, but they removed them all in 2021. Lenovo is the last major laptop producer to use pointing sticks. Maybe System76 will come through?

This ThinkPad keyboard project for the Framework Laptop is worth keeping an eye on.
