We are not sustainable
And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here...
I've always wanted a form factor that's basically a thick tablet, but with laptop-level hardware inside. I can carry around a (mechanical) keyboard and a wireless mouse just fine. Have something to prop it up vertically and give it a power adapter, and that's all I need. Even the best laptop keyboards and touchpads kinda suck.
Not many companies would take a chance on a form factor like that, but an old Framework motherboard could make it work. I think there are some 3d printed projects on their forums that are pretty close to this already.
