We asked: Can it be done? A convertible touchscreen laptop that’s also repairable, really? The Framework 12 is a pastel repair geek’s dream.

    I have a Framework 14 for my school laptop and it really is a great little piece of hardware. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

      Framework smartphone please. Though I think that is VERY unlikely.

          The closest thing to that that currently exists would probably be fairphone with /e/os

                They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I’m still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.

                I considered it, but the specs were too low. Ended up choosing a Google Pixel instead.

                  specs were too low

                  what usage was limited by specs?

          Yes please, I already use Graphene but I would be so happy if I could finally ditch google entirely.

        It is. On their YouTube channel there’s a very interesting Q&A on their event earlier this year, here: https://youtu.be/os_fHy1mB_M There was a question specifically about making a smartphone. They explained it was very unlikely they’d ever do that and explained their reasoning behind it, so I’d highly recommend watching the video of you’re interested in how they think.

            I would look at Fair phone. I imported one to the US and I love it.

              I’ve thought about it, but in really holding out for a proper Linux phone, but we’ll see.

                I plan to put postmarketos on this bad boy once I know the 5g will work. Cellular reception will be crucial more than anything for Linux phones to succeed.

      Assume you mean the 13, I’ve had mine for a few months and love it too. Also really dig the refinements they’ve done with the 12 like the pogo pins and even more easily replaceable display
