I feel like Framework started something awesome and… is stalling?
The silicon they use is getting a little long in the tooth, and so is the engineering of the cooling, the screen quality… I get it, they’re a scrappy startup, but it almost feels like they’re stuck.
Meanwhile the Framework Desktop has awesome hardware, but is largely non modular by necessity and… not available in a laptop? And not very expandable as a desktop, not even with a dGPU slot. And expensive.
I haven’t been following them that closely. I hope they come out with new stuff soon though, because I really want them to succeed. Mostly, I want this concept to succeed though. So, if they stumble, I hope someone else picks up the baton.
Oh, and my controversial take:
