Are there any updates on touchscreen for Framework 16? I read that the MB supports touch input but there is can find no information weather it is being worked on.
I am looking for a new laptop and Framework 16 looks like a good fit for me except for lack of touchscreen option.
Welcome to the forum.
Framework makes all announcements on their blog, and because they don’t reveal anything ahead of time, the forum should never have info about upcoming products which is not on the blog.
You can search the blog with something like: site:https://frame.work/blog touchscreen. Or better, subscribe to their newsletter (bottom of the page), or blog RSS feed.
Framework has not announced anything regarding a FWL16 touchscreen yet. But they normally will not announce anything until they are fairly far along and can ensure there are no showstoppers left.
The mainboard does indeed have both usb and i2c touchscreen pins on the internal eDP connector. But the current cable is not a touchscreen cable, so it doesn’t / can’t carry those lines to the other end.

Thank you very much

I am currently holding off purchasing a Laptop to see if Framework add a touchscreen (and have been for about six months now). It would be nice if they do add a touchscreen before I end up buying a less-repairable laptop (for the touchscreen).
