When it comes to the hinge, that’s like most, if not all, laptops. They’re all modular in this regard.
Can’t wait for perfection, I guess. We’ll just have to take what’s available now…while this get sorted out.
Will there be free replacement for early adopters who sucked it up and had to deal with the resonance behaving hinge…when that hinge is ready?
That is:
Weaker than 3.3kg = Functional issue = Covered under warranty, free replacement.
3.3kg hinge = No functional issue but Framework-considered unsatisfactory behaviour = ?
Any brownie points for early adopters?
Framework to continue growing, selling laptops while dealing with known issues.
I’m glad Framework is open about this, and acknowledging the issue.
This modularity and upgradability definitely has the benefit of allowing companies to sell the “we’ll fix our product while you buy / use them, and yours will be fixed in due time” (for a price?) concept. Future startups / electronics companies can take on this model while they grow.
