With the new Framework 16 Laptop coming, I was wondering what you thought of it, or more generally, the Framework laptop as a whole? For those not in the loop, here's a video showcasing the upcoming product.
Personally, I hope this project lasts a long time. The idea behind it is cool, and I like the support that's already been given to it in their
Github repos. Plus, I have to admit that Linus's enthusiasm for the new laptop is contagious. It does seem pretty cool how he was able to add the modular inputs. At least he's having fun with it.
On the other hand, it's expensive. I'm also reminded of
Project Ara which seemed cool but got shelved. For all the work that's been done with Framework already, I hope it lasts longer.
Maybe...as a supplemental question, what do you guys think of the expansion bay that was mentioned? It seems pretty big, but what do you think you can design there that would be great for engineers? Linus mentioned that you could design something like an oscilloscope in that bay, but that's out of my depth of whether it could be done or not. Still, I thought the idea was pretty cool.
