Framework Laptop 13
107

Single handed page up/down…having to press Fn is definitely suboptimal…Fn Lock does not change the arrow keys to page keys.
This is just software, so should be easy to make alt-gr + arrow work as a page key

power button brightness…need to be able to dim, or turn off the power light, when using the laptop in the dark

Edit, have found the bios option to dim the power light

Would it be possible to add some “stand-offs”? Currently, unless I clean the screen, I can see an “impression” of the keyboard on the screen when looking in just the right light. I tried “fixing” this by adding hot glue to the corners of the top of the laptop, but when it gets hot, they stick to the base and pull the bevel off the screen.

Hum…that shouldn’t mechanically happen with a well-assembled Framework laptop…unless either something isn’t machined to spec, or you have other items pressing against the laptop lid when the laptop is shut.

Maybe give support a call.

A standalone monitor enclosure made from the same screens. It’d be the only competition to the Huawei MateView and I think it’d be pretty popular.

Also, OpenPOWER mainboard, but I’m sure other companies (e.g. Raptor) can come in and deliver that if Framework doesn’t want to.

An expansion card for HDMI INPUT - I want to be able to use the framework as a monitor for my phone!

114

What phone do you have?

e.g. Samsung DeX works over wifi and / or USB as well…

115

Impossible due to chipset and CPU/GPU

116

If they can make this…they can eventually make it smaller:

117

They make a ton of heat.

118

So it’s not the chipset / CPU/GPU then. Problem to be solved / solutioned / designed then… Like every product.

e.g. People…battery is heavy as hell. Tesla: We’ll move it.

119

Camera/micless bezels would be very nice, probably my biggest desire for the current laptop being made. I know that nrp said it wasn’t in the cards due to the cost, but I’d still want to get my support for it counted. I’d absolutely buy one.

There are plenty of people with access to 3D printers in this forum, you might as well just ask!

Do you know anyone I could shoot a message to? I’d rather not start up another thread just for that.

This is basically asking for a complete re-design

  1. A Larger Body
  • A 15"
  • Larger capacity battery
  • More ports
  • Optional Numpad
  1. RISC-V Motherboard
  • Furthering open-source with OpenISA
  • No Pluton Core, No Intel Management Engine, No AMD Platform Security Processor
  1. Libreboot
  • Alongside the RISC-V board and lack of a proprietary processor management engine, we could get firmware like Libreboot working
  1. Trackpoint
  • As an option in keyboard customization, Trackpoint would be amazing and bring in the people buying the HP Dev One and ThinkPads
  1. Replace the Windows Logo with the Framework Logo
  • Framework has attracted a lot of attention amongst Linux users. An OS-agnostic Meta key would suite it well.
  1. Physical Switch for the Trackpad
  • With the availability of a Trackpoint or simply with the use of an external mouse, being able to have a physical switch to turn off the trackpad that you can visually identify it being in the on/off state would be nice
  1. Bifurcated Type-C Modules
  • In the external space on the modules, you could fit two type-c ports
  1. FN Toggle Indicator
  • An LED to identify if FN is toggled on/off
  1. 180-degree hinge
  • Allows the display to rotate and lay flat on the keyboard without exposed keys
  1. Touchscreen
  • Another customizability option
  • Would almost be necessary with a 360-degree hinge
  • A physical switch would be nice to toggle touch capabilities
  1. Second NVMe Slot
  • Expandable storage
  1. 144Hz Refresh Rate
  • Smoother Experience
  1. No Logo
  • Customizability option to remove the logo from the chassis
  1. Physical Switch for ‘Airplane Mode’
  • Toggles Wifi+Bluetooth
  1. Wacom Touchpad
  • Pressure Sensitive
  • Use of Pens
  1. Pen Slot
  • Somewhere to store the pen when not in use

chill. This is basically just a wishlist
not demanding they do everything right now

I know this is just aesthetics and probably a waste of manpower now, could we like theme the BIOS? Be it Coreboot or InsydeOS. Kinda like ASUS Laptops/PC BIOS with a Framework branding.

tbh I would like this as well, although prob a good idea for it to wait considering as you said it is a bit of a waste of manpower :rofl: , it would look way better then the standard blue white which really isn’t nesessary anymore as it’s UEFI not legacy!

Yea, it has quite a few available features, just thought it is a shame (considering how modern it looks). That being said, it is just aesthetics.

Another one I just thought of was XMP, in hopes of speeding up the Iris XE using faster RAM.
