60W power adapter sufficient for light workload?

We might have some info. Framework has stated that they’re using a semi custom variant of a pre-existing BOE panel.

In one of the images Framework shared it was possible to see that their display has a model number of NE160QDM-NZ6 printed on it. However we don’t know if that is the model of the display they’re using or if that was just on a DVT/other prototype. Googling that panel number only brings up a sketchy AliExpress listing.

There are several other panels in the NE160QDM-NZ line of panels (just not an NZ6 variant). All of those are 240 Hz and have a 1200:1 contrast ratio (some but not all also have reduced brightness and/or DCI-P3 coverage) but otherwise very similar specs to the Framework 16’s panel. Those are all around 7w rated power consumption.

There are also a couple panels outside of the NZ line that have similar specs to the Framework 16’s panel such as the NE160QDM-NY1 and the NE160QDM-NY3. Compared to the Framework 16’s panel those both have lower contrast and worse latency (and the NY1 has less DCI-P3 coverage), however are otherwise similar. Those are rated at 6.7w and 8.5w max respectively.

Based on those it is likely that the Framework 16’s panel will be somewhere around 7-9w when at 100% brightness.
