I have been waiting for something like this from framework for ages now, super pumped to order one.
Specs are a bit disappointing, so here's hoping it gets a bit beefier cpu option in the future
the model clearly was designed around to cut coat corners and imo, meant to partially replace their chromebook line. using the older 13th gen cpu, ontop of having features like a kensington lock makes it sound like its the cheap option for school leasing.
I dont need much in a laptop, it would be replacing my Lenovo x220t thats really starting to show its age now. So even a 13th gen is a vast improvement, I was just hoping for a more efficient chip for battery life, or a higher performing one so it'll last as long as possible, since I try to keep hardware for as long as possible
that's exactly the target.
They also have the option of locking the expension cards from inside the case, so kids don't take them out and potenially lose them
