I would like to have a dual screen laptop like this:
Any possibility for this?
Thank you
Framework typically doesn’t announce products until they’re almost ready. As for dual screens, it’s still a very niche product but you could see it later down the line when framework is a bigger and more mature company.
Any reliable partners or 3rd party links?
They might have something?
Not that I’m aware of
Is that any chance this option will be available as a touch screen?
I would like something like this.
This is exactly what I’d like to see. Replace the base keyboard and mouse with a screen. I know it isn’t quite as simple as copy/paste the top magnetic schematic to the base, but we do have the info to attach the screen already.
I am probably in the minority in not needing a keyboard/mouse on the laptop (I use something like this, only wireless: Dilemma - Prebuilt (preorder) - Bastard Keyboards - Open-source Ergonomic Innovation )
A lot of people probably have, or would be OK with a separate keyboard/trackpad anyway. Some combo of these new low profile keyboards from nuphy or keychron and a wireless trackpad.
I eye that laptop every week, but like framework’s model and don’t want to get any more personal compute that isn’t framework. I also eye the Minisforum V3 a lot, as it has great linux support, and would be basically a portable screen…just one though.
I have thought about the V3 as a second screen for the framework too, since it has a displaylink input, but still struggle that it isn’t in the framework ecosystem.
I have no CAD or 3d printing skills or capabilities, so it’d be tough for me to actually construct this, but I’m on the cusp of trying. If there were a kit that was basically buy a second screen from the marketplace, and a new bottom chassis, I would definitely be getting it.
I’ve seen a few posts about some usb to edp connections, which may fit in an expansion slot, or if there are more usb/dp headers somewhere on the MB or something that could be used instead of sucking up a usb port, that would be awesome.
It could also be replicated for the 16.
