Framework Gaming Handheld Video!

Hi Pitstop_tech! Incredible work with that custom assembly! As a framework touchscreen enthusiast, I have to ask - How did you plug the screen and touch screen to it? Is it USB-C or is it the internal eDP/40pin connector?

Its a reflective heatshield at the moment with lots of airflow and prevents heat getting to the battery past the divider that is between the components.

Thank you - I very much appreciate the support. As far as I’m aware, there are no viable solutions using the internal eDP/40pin connector.

Would there be any possibility to have wired controllers to connect to the sides rather than rely on Bluetooth connections? @pitstop_tech

Potentially possible, but it would use up another usb c port. Thanks.

hi, framework should make this handheld available for everyone, using the same element for the laptop.

These designs have the issue of overheating the battery and may not be viable for consumer use.

Hi, not if you use a heatshield and dissipate the airflow by creating space between them.

Thanks.

Change the shape of the battery so it can fit bottom.

Have you thought of using the expansion module for something like a complete os and/or game library swap, like you could have 3 modules, one with windows, one with SteamOS and one with something like batocera?
