Just ordered my first Framework! What other goodies should I get?

So after making myself wait a while for the early bugs and such to be worked out I finally broke down and ordered myself a DIY 12th gen i5 framework. I’m pretty excited and wanted what other goodies or mods I might want to get for it. I’ve been searching for a case and all of that jazz, but I’ve read something about better hinges and speakers from the market place? I was curious what new orders come with and whether or not I should look at these.

Besides that, what kind of fun goodies do you all use with yours? Are there any mods or anything I might want to check out as well?

Okay cool I heard about the new top while watching LTT. So, the 3.3 Kg hinges, are those the ones people say are too “weak”? I wasn’t sure if it was just the kg rating of the hinges or if they designed a new hinge or something.

If you happen to know, do these new 12th gens come with the new speakers?

I highly recommend if you have the budget, to buy an external battery. As you probably know already, the battery life on a framework is not that good.

I have seen mixed information on that. I guess some of it depends on how you set things up?

But to be honest I’ve never had a laptop that could last more than one to two hours; so if it really does last five I would honestly be impressed.
