Will there be a 2 in 1 touch screen framework 13

Rationale of 12 instead of a modified 13?

FWIW, there’s a crowd FAQ from the launch event that just got uploaded.

I’ve also been curious about this, I like the idea of a 2 in 1 FW13 similar to this project that I haven’t seen much updates of.

Connecting a Wacom I2C touchscreen to the Framework 13 motherboard (prototype)

Goal: My long term goal is to build my own 2 in 1 laptop around the framework 13 motherboard. As a first step for that project, I need to get a touch screen with stylus support working through the framework’s eDP connector. A USB C display is not a good option as it will take up ¼ of the IO on the motherboard and would be more difficult to integrate into the final design. Progress so far: First, I tested to make sure a display from a Lenovo 2 in 1 (the 4k flex 5 15) would work with the framew…

I agreed with him.
