Eventually? Yes.
Soon? No.

Keep this in mine from the Framework 'About' page:

Even better, what we’ve done to enable repair also opens up upgradeability and customization. This lets you get exactly the product you need and extends usable lifetime too.

Repairability and upgradeability are central to who they are as a company. Changing the case design from FW13 to FW13.2 breaks that.

I'd imagine their case designs were created with some attempt to look forward and not design themselves into a corner. At the same time, things evolve and at some point a very compelling reason for a case design change may come along. But I cannot envision this company undertaking a redesign lightly.

Name a carrier and I know someone who hates them and refuses to use them.

I suspect the bezel isn’t seated properly at the bottom. Mine was a little fiddly at first but now pops right into place.

Nice!

Yeah, stories like this are exactly why we own two Framework laptops.

Local location is who this is on. Both of my laptops, FedEx has required a physical signature.

So much of your experience with a delivery company depends on the local office and drivers.

She would not be happy if I put her on YouTube. In reality, she's handy enough that she won't have any difficulties with this, with a little bit of guidance.

What model/config

Intel 13th Gen i7-1360P
2 x 16GB RAM
2TB SSD

Over-buying a bit for now, with the recognition that it'll let it go longer before needing an upgrade.

I contemplated AMD (Mine is same model i7 as I'm getting her), but decided to wait since the AMD versions are brand new. For me, I'd be willing to consider BIOS that feels like it's still getting slightly tweaked; for her, it needs to be stable. Tried and true is the best path, here.

 

I got my Framework back in July. Starting about two weeks ago, my wife (who's never had a computer, nor shown interest in one) started mentioning it....and how it might be nice to have one.

She's getting the DIY edition - I'll let her have a little fun doing the final assembly.
