Yeah, the black chassis looks fucking awesome
I'm having a Framework 16 and during work in a warehouse I produced a major scratch on it.
Would love to either do a cover up "tattoo" (like laser engraving) or just switch to a black chassis, if it becomes available for the F16
Either way, those things fucking rock
My little brother has an old ThinkPad, which I regard as good.
But the keyboard starts to die and he bought a new keyboard to replace.
You need to disassemble the complete laptop, just to change the keyboard - and there are a fuckload of screws and flimsy connectors.
Because of that age, I also guess, that those flimsy plastic brackets, holding the flat rippon cables, while easily break - at least that happend to me, when I tried to repair an really old piece of hardware
The idea of Framework is absolutely great
The only thing, that worries me, is the massive use of magnets, because working in a dirty industrial environment, it sucks up all the little metal pieces - and that killed the speakers of my last laptops at least, and brought that shit into PCB environment
Still, at its so easy to disassemble, I can just pull out the modules, even while the laptop is running, clean them up and put them back.
Fucking love this thing!
Ok, only wanted to say something about this nice black chassis and got carried off...
