Framework's Laptops use USB-C Expansion cards for HDMI, Display, USB, headphone, and Ethernet ports. But up until now the only SD card reader was microSD.

Now Framework is working on a full-sized SD card reader, which the company says has been its most consistently requested Expansion Card.

@skaverat @frameworkcomputer Touché!

(But the #FrameworkLaptop on my hypothetical shopping list, for when my current machine dies…is still the 13.)

@jgoerzen @frameworkcomputer Yay Debian!

"Fully upgradable": Largely. When DDR-god-knows-what is superceded by DDR-god-knows-what++ you will be stuck with the old. Same with SSD. And when you want a new CPU you will probably need new RAM++ to go with it…

That quibbled, Framework laptop is WAY upgradable! It is currently my next computer. That is, once I need a new computer. I'm keeping my XPS-13 for now.

Please #FrameworkLaptop , keep the 13 a good LITTLE machine. (16s are too big and heavy…)

I just upgraded the RAM in my Framework from 8GB to 32GB.

It took maybe 5 minutes and the only tool I needed was the screwdriver that came with the laptop.

I missed Batch 5 because I struggled for a day to click the purchase button. I can't wait! 🤩

Waiting for @chic_luke to do the same 👀

Installing #NixOS on my new #FrameworkLaptop! Cheers!

You know that there is something wrong with our #EconomicSystem and #society when #repairability and #modularity becomes a feature instead of a liability.

(#FrameworkLaptop 👍)

It's here and I'm excited to upgrade from my 7 year old Thinkpad.

Initial thoughts:
- very nice build quality
- lots of keyboard travel
- oh thank God a matte screen
- being able to choose just the ports I needed was great
- surprisingly good speakers

@nanners @shellsharks @frameworkcomputer My current notebook computer is still running well, but #FrameworkLaptop is what I would buy today to replace it.

Framework: Please don't abandon the small 13, please don't weigh it down, please don't make it fat, please don't take away IO. (AKA, please don't act like Apple.)

Um, actually I was just reading a thread on #LKML where Linus is being Linus (brutally honest, these days it is illegal for anyone but Linus to be) and #bcachefs doesn't look ready for me to try. So my excuses for getting a #FrameworkLaptop are one fewer.

Another reason for why I want a #FrameworkLaptop : I want to play with bcachefs, but I don't know that I want to adopt it for real. Well, the ability to swap SSDs would make that much more practical. (Though the playing itself would take significant time…)

Booting up my old T420 Thinkpad for fun. It's slow and chunky and smol, but charming in its own way. I'll miss it when my #FrameworkLaptop comes in to replace it.

#frameworklaptop ist bestellt.
Wird einer mit Ryzen 7.
Lieferung in Q4. Bin gespannt.

Ars Technica: Turning my Framework laptop into a tiny desktop was fun. Now it needs a job. https://arstechnica.com/?p=1951787 #Tech #arstechnica #IT #Technology #frameworklaptop13 #frameworklaptop #righttorepair #framework #upcycling #Tech

@mac84tv I like how Framework offers a little package to reuse removed motherboards (like a compact computer) when upgrading their laptops. #FrameworkLaptop #framework

The massive e-waste and lack of #maintainability is why I’m moving to computers that can be maintained, upgraded, and repaired with less waste and is more consumer-friendly too.

Last laptop I bought was a MacBook Pro.

Looks like my next laptop will be a #framework 16.

Waiting until after the first production run and shipping. #FrameworkLaptop

I want a #FrameworkLaptop so bad because there are no more replacement parts available for my 2yo Thinkpad. But then again, it's only two years old...

@frameworkcomputer any chance of bringing #FrameworkLaptop in Switzerland? I want badly this #Framework16 to be my next work machine (love the long term maintainability/repairability/upgradeability), but it simplifies procurement for work if it can be ordered to Switzerland instead of going through, e.g., an address in Germany (like I did for my SteamDeck).

After discussing the pros and cons between the 13" and 16" #frameworklaptop options w/ Andrea, I decided I cared more about weight than GPU.

AMD version pre-ordered! I also love that I could skip ordering a charger since I have a USB-C dock on my desk and I can get a multi-port USB-C charger for any travel needs. Less waste in the world is always a good thing.
