I’m looking for a laptop with a good display. I really want a true 10-bit HDR 4k panel. Are there any rumors/plans for it? It looks like right now only Apple (blergh) offers anything close.

Afraid Framework doesn’t give hints about future plans. Perhaps to avoid the Osborne effect. And anything officially announced will be on their blog, so one can follow that or subscribe to their newsletter to stay aware of what they’re releasing.
Unfortunately HDR is unlikely as among the key requirements to qualify for certification is to have local dimming - that requires additional hardware which affects the size of the display.
Apple has its own mini-LED display designed specially for them, which is why they can offer HDR.
Here’s a good write-up about the pitfalls of upgrading the display in a laptop:
I guess another option is OLED? But yeah, we’re getting true square pixel RGB OLED displays only this year. I guess I’d settle for 4K SDR for now.
