I just replaced my spicy pillow this afternoon. It kinda sucks but now I may lock into the OG Framework 13 for a few more years. My 7840u still is really snappy.

I hope they release a version without a touchscreen. My screen is great, and I donât need touch functionality. Whatâs the point of wanting to be eco-friendly if youâre then forced to buy something you donât need?
The battery is a different matter. Mine has served me well and will probably need replacing soon.
There is very little difference in material use between touch and non touch and it does save having multiple skus and configurations of assembly lines and stuff.
I still hope they will sell some rejects where only the touch part is broken but the rest is fine to non touch users like you and me but that depends on their yields.
I think that came across a bit wrong.
The option to purchase a monitor with touchscreen support directly from Framework is amazing.
Since I own a standard FW13 and just want to swap out the chassis, Iâd appreciate it if there were a chassis version that came with all components except the monitor. That would save me a lot of money, since the monitor would otherwise just be sitting around unused. Thatâs whatâs been holding me back from buying the full chassis so far.
Buying the parts individually might end up costing about the sameâŚ

Destroya said weâd get an option to just buy the lid, doubt the store listings are anywhere near final at this point.
