Damn man, Tiger looks higher than hell in that pic.
I think a regimen of heavy drinking and exercising to stay relatively fit can take that kind of a toll on a person

And this kind of thing is why my next laptop will be one of theirs
I like the philosophy and approach from them, but I think one of those Tuxedo ARM notebooks will be my next computer purchase. I’ve been jealous of the speed and battery life of people around me with M-Series MacBooks for a few years now, but unwilling to go to the OS and Asahi isn’t there for me yet.
Same for me, but still no shipping for my country, so I just bought a used T490 which will serve my needs for 4 years and then I'll go for framework; hopefully they are still kicking by then. If shipping was available I would for sure have gone for their 13'' laptop even though it's much more expensive and powerful than I need for personal use.
Only reason I didn't switch yet was that my 6 years old Laptop still holds perfectly well and it would be counter productive to just change to a new device for no reason but the brand and that it is new
My t440s is 10 years now. Still going strong as my main and only computer. Although, those frame.works's look really nice.
You could always pass it on to someone who can't afford a new one, a school student for example
Here's hoping this helps with getting a thinkpad keyboard into one of these things, I love my t420 to bits but sooner or later I'd like something a bit more efficient
Here's the feature request for a TrackPoint on a Framework. Hope they change their mind, because a pointing stick is the most obvious use case for Framework 16's input modules.
I went with a Thinkpad for my most recent upgrade but I really, really wanted a Framework. If there was a straightforward trackpoint keyboard kit available for the Framework I’d be all in next round. There’s no love lost between Lenovo and I at this point.
This ThinkPad keyboard project for the Framework Laptop is worth keeping an eye on.
Nice maybe we'll get some cheep Chinese knockoffs.. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing
Until your knees & thighs start burning.
Fingers crossed for a touchpad with physical buttons.
Physical buttons is so 2010
To a lot of laptop manufacturers, it certainly seems that way as of late - that's why I'm ever hopeful that a modular laptop, such as the framework, might give us the option of how we want to control a mouse cursor.
So they will be earning money from people that helps them on the open sourced design ?
While losing money from people who didn't buy frames manufactured by them, yes. That's the point of open source, to let the community have ownership of the design and to make your business model less reliant on intellectual property.
