Discussion around the Framework mission of building products that last longer by making them upgradeable, customizable, and repairable. Consumer electronics can be better for you and for the environment.

This is the way
I like the colored magnetic bezel. Very fun customization option that it's pretty emblematic of Framework's plug and play repairable design language. I'd buy a dark teal one too if they made one.
I had this thought recently. Could you just spray paint it?
I don't own a framework.... yet.
I mean, you could, arts and crafts is always an option. Would require fairly precise tapework to get it perfect around the cameras and mic and I wouldn't recommend touching the reverse side with that approach.
Personally, I'd rather stick with what they fab and it supports the company, but you could definitely DIY it.
That makes sense. My favorite color is purple, I've thought about spray painting it when my 16 arrives.
Purple would be dope. Post pics of the final build to the sub if you go through with it!
Almost neon purple too, that would be sweet.
Orange!
My choice too :)
Which colour did you go for? I went orange :)
Green. Awaiting it.
The screen. Makes it much easier to use
A large powerbank with 100w output. Can charge laptop and phone
Which one did you go for?
I have a 40000 mAh 65W powerbank and a case that doubles as a stand so that the laptop doesn't suffocate
Laptop kickstand legs. Silver color, small, stealthy when folded. Very useful to prop the laptop to a desired angle.
I've had a bash at 3d printing some legs/stand thing for my desk, it 'work in progress' shall we say!
I just recently picked up a USB-C monitor, 18.5" 1600p 144hz. It's a great compliment to the small laptop to have a bigger faster screen available for either dual screen productivity or a better gaming experience.
Sounds good, which one did you go for?
