Framework won't be just a laptop company anymore
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoA phone that is not controlled by Apple, Google, or Microsoft would be great. But that is probably too complex a product for that amount of funding to cover.
- MaximilianEmel 2y agoA hard part would be finding a SoC vendor that will do long-term support. Considering Framework's model is long support cycles.
- karmakaze 2y agoIt's enough funding to show significant progress and raise more. The payoff is bigger than any other category I can think of.
- DreamFlasher 2y agoThere are already phones focusing on repairability.
- _nalply 2y agoLike the Fairphone. https://www.fairphone.com/ https://www.fairphone.com/

- GregDavidson 2y agoI could really use a nice open and modular low power home office server with ecc ram and (optionally?) suitable to be a file server. It would be awesome if many of its components could be swapped with the laptops.
- freedomben 2y agoYou could use a framework mainboard for that![1] Especially if you already have one from a previous gen laptop it's a great way to reuse. They open sourced the CAD files so you can print your case or buy one[2]. I have a first gen framework 13 whose body is about toast, and it is going to become a NAS once it finally stops working. Until then it's a great video-meeting machine. [1]: https://frame.work/blog/mainboard-availability-and-open-source-release https://frame.work/blog/mainboard-availability-and-open-sour...

- theshrike79 2y agoStill waiting for them to first become a laptop company in the Nordics. I've got the money, please let me buy one?
- darthrupert 2y agoYep, I've got the exact same problem. One would think there's enough demand to make it worth it.
- darthrupert 2y agoI hope I can get one of their laptops before venture capital leads to enshittification.
