Apparently wobbly hinges

In terms of hinge force, there is a careful tradeoff on having it stiff enough to not wobble if you’re using the laptop on a train or plane or generally moving around with the lid open, while also not having it too stiff for one-hand opening. We tuned the force to basically sit between those two goals. For resonance outside of the hinge actually moving, the 3:2 aspect ratio that makes the display taller does mean that it will resonate more than a shorter 16:9 display. In general use though, we haven’t seen it be an issue (e.g. no matter how hard you type, it won’t make the screen shake).

There are some good shots of the laptop in motion in the Linus Tech Tips video: A COMPLETELY Upgradeable Laptop? - Framework Laptop Review - YouTube
