@Anachron could you add Coreboot to the list under firmware? Here is a link to the oldest thread on the subject. Coreboot on the Framework Laptop

@2disbetter @Framework it looks like this forum is set up in a way that I can’t edit posts after one day. Can this be changed? Else it’s quite uselss to make such a list.

turn it into a wiki

Edit: might have to be a mod to do that

@Anachron
For modules:
KVM module so we can use the laptop as a screen+keyboard/touchpad when we are working with headless systems.

For screen:
Maybe a lower resolution screen around 1080p (though might not matter considering Wayland Fractional Scaling may be implemented well by then).

Dedicated USB-C charge port might work, instead of a module, we can have an additional replaceable daughter board similar to the Audio jack.

Thank you!

Added.

Added it, already saw it on this post but forgot to add it.

I think this is a “dying” problem and we shouldn’t use hardware workarounds for software issues imo.

That’s how I would imagine it too. Could be a useful addition and maybe even only requite a new bottom chassis replacement with an extra card.

For Modular Phone, AR glasses, and Tablet? Does Framework Laptop can replace the case of the laptop?

15

I wish that Framework Laptop offer different design and color?

Can I add something for the wishlist, maybe an Magnesium Alloy chassis for even lighter weight?

Since a stronger chassis has been mentioned at least a couple of times on the forums, I’ve added it to the wishlist!

A keyboard with multi-color backlights would be nice.

20

Branding-free options for all external components with branding would be nice. I think that’d just be the top cover and the bezel.

21

And the keyboard!!! But that’s already on the list :slight_smile:

22

Sign me up for a 15" or even 17" with a 13th gen Intel HX series or even an AMD (The new 7040 series is looking mighty tasty) laptop with the following

  1. At least two M.2 NVME slots
  2. More external ports
  3. Option to install an internal discrete graphics module (TB4?)
  4. Keyboard with dedicated switches for BT/Wifi
  5. Kensington Lock Slot that when used would hamper ability to open machine

It is possible that Framework laptop can have touch screen and AR displays?

24

A touchscreen is already on the wishlist.

How do you expect a AR display to work?

Can you please elaborate how that would work? And also why its important?

This would be pretty useless as somebody pointed out, this is exactly the opposite of what the goal of Framework is. This works with Apple Macbooks and alike, but with devices which are meant to be opened at any time to adjust them … not such a good idea.

Edit: Also even those locks are no protection for serious lockpickers.

Maybe not a bad idea after all. I’ll add it.

Pretty hard on the current space. Iirc the chassis is too small to even fit one into, so those things only work on newer iterations (like a 15" or 17" version).

Already on the list.

Hi That may well be in the plans. Meanwhile they and you can look at other attempts to do so, with the added aspect of Fairtrade.

The issue being that both are small companies, not selling outside the EU to any degree, maybe Taiwan.

I wonder the Display can have 360 degree flip as Tablet Model?
