So I had a framework 13 and I like it, but I need a bigger screen  
I think the frame work 16 is just too big and heavy  
would it be possible to consider a new larger thin and light shell for the framework 13 main boards with a larger screen and keyboard, but…still has a thin and light design ?  
Many mainstream laptops are moving to larger 15 and 16 inch screens but also being lighter and thinner. Using the smaller 13 main board would keep it thin and light but give users another option.
