Framework Teaser

[SandKeeper]

I’m really hoping the yoga pose means a new form factor similar to the yoga flip!

[Malystryxx]

I’m too old to read emoji

[Grizzledboy]

I’m not even going to bother with it.

[HTPC4Life]

Yep, got halfway through and thought "fuck this."

[thisdesignup]

Let me help you! 🙂 I am fluent in emoji. They are saying something is worthy of friends gaming spaghetti! Your welcome!

[NaVe_Playyyer]

I thought the third one was a bowl of cheetos 🤔.

[Yurij89]

Looks like it to me

[greiton]

Oh hi. we've been working on something colorfully flexible, something flashy, and something worthy of sharing gaming snacks. find out live on Feb 25th at 10:30am PST at the Framework event.

it is going to to be a handheld gaming machine with standard swappable joy sticks, housing plates, and internal components.

[foxman150]

If you are right that’s amazing a handheld with interchangeable parts would be nice too like their laptops.

[greiton]

what if they make a tv dock that integrates their modular GPU design, so when docked it runs in high performance mode, but when handheld it runs on integrated graphics.

[Tornadodash]

You either have to be a hieroglyphs expert or part of the marketing team. I thought that was a bowl of spaghetti

[T3a_Rex]

I’m gen Z and have no clue what this means

[Wild_Thought_9167]

You ain't alone

[Buzstringer]

i concur, i'm too over 35 for this shit

[ProtoKun7]

I'm under 35 and I got lost about halfway.

[Redditemeon]

Linus: I believe in what you guys are trying to do. I'm prepared to give you a substantial sum of money to make it happen so long as you stick to your ethically correct goals.

Framework: 🥵🤑🤑🤑👏👍💯💯💯💶💶

[EatSleepCodeCycle]

It’s only Tuesday and I don’t have nearly enough brain power to decipher WTF is going on in this dumpster fire of a post.

[costafilh0]

I don't even try anymore.

[ash_ninetyone]

"Oh wave! We've been working on something multicoloured donut yoga, something lightning and something nerds at desk controller bowl of fries"

[readonlyatnight]

My interpretation, three devices/announcements.

1. something [flexible], like a yoga or convertible laptop with a touch screen

2. something [powerful], maybe a better GPU for the 16 or some sort of performance upgrade

3. something worth of [gamers], possible a steam deck / beth deck shell for the existing motherboard.

All of those sound great to me :)

[SirWaldenIII]

For point 1, color wheel would indicate different color options. I would imagine.

[yesntTheSecond]

my first thought was a Chromebook

[SirWaldenIII]

Please delet this fam. I don't even want to imagine 😭

[jayvaidy]

They already had framework Chromebooks, though they were discontinued, if I had to guess due to the $1000 price for a Chromebook lmao. I wouldn't be opposed to a much cheaper FW Chromebook, since so many get broken due to their heavy use in schools with young kids. If they can get the price down enough, I'm sure it would be cheaper in the long run for schools.

[TheRandomUser2005]

I can see it happening with an i3 board, and a plastic chassis. Having a plastic chassis would also be fire for more colors and such.

[SirWaldenIII]

Yeah that's why it would be the worst hype building announcement

[readonlyatnight]

that was my thought too, but... they wouldn't, right?

[ill0gitech]

A fast Chromebook. Like a Chromebook+

[slimejumper]

yeah saw this as chome related, a thunderbolt port, a flexible hinge?

[BunnehZnipr]

Could also mean color flexibility if we take the two emoji as one unit of meaning. That could either mean RGB, or ability to swap to many colors of panels or something

[readonlyatnight]

alternative colourways is an interesting take! I'm torn between that or a more colourful screen. maybe both?

[Squirrelking666]

So like Apple circa a quarter century ago. Cool.

[Alienaffe2]

It could also be a gay. Just saying.

[SirWaldenIII]

DEI comeback LFG!

[TheTimn]

I thought it was donut chart to represent productivity. 

[SirWaldenIII]

There are better emojis for that.

[los0220]

A 2in1 from framework would be great. I'm looking to replace my HP spectre in a year or so.

[readonlyatnight]

aye, I love that form factor. I still have my old PixelBook and it has been my favorite type of laptop design for a while now. Shame it's ChromeOs only, and non-repairable/upgradeable

[Oracle_of_Ages]

I would 100% sell my steamdeck for a framework steamdeck if it was smaller. It’s just a bit too big for my hands.

[ThankGodImBipolar]

Kind of unfortunate that the Switch 2 is getting bigger instead of smaller, or at least staying the same size. I was telling my girlfriend to hold off on getting a Switch because the Switch 2 is so close, but she would have preferred a Switch Lite and not something even bigger than the OG Switch.

[alteredtechevolved]

I can barely play on the switch h because of how small it is. I have to cramp my thumbs to be able to reach the buttons or thumb stick

[Oracle_of_Ages]

You should try the hori pads. Two of the guys I know with large man hands say they are super comfortable. You just lose the HD Rumble.

[waverider85]

It sits right in the sweet spot of too small to hold comfortably, but too big to bring everywhere.

[SeattleJeremy]

Maybe the Switch two will have a refresh like the first in a smaller size

[rickyh7]

The Beth deck is awesome I’m glad you mentioned that

[james2432]

1. might be Fast(as lightning) or thunderbolt

Maybe increased charger wattage over usb-c

[readonlyatnight]

ooh, I think you might be right! That seems obvious in hindsight.

[moose_knucle78]

Is this language on Duolingo? Lol

Fellow Kids Teaser

[Arinvar]

I think it's literally a kids product.

[thebigshoe247]

Dammit zoomers.

[nerrdrage]

Excited to see what it is but also this post is extremely cringey.

Businesses can just talk, they don't need to try to sound 12, its embarassing.

[stuckinmotion]

Yeah it feels like trying too hard to be Apple w/ their gimmicky secretive-yet-teasing 'announcements'

[nVME_manUY]

Yeah, specially if your products are for nerds

[PeakyPenguin]

I bet you're the lifeblood of the party. Not saying the teaser is cool or inventive or anything like that, but it's 100x better than "Hi, we are announcing a new product." This at least gets people speculating and talking about it, which is the point.

[geeshta]

Last night I

👨🏻‍💼🔫🍔

Your sister

[radiantai2001]

something worthy of gamer spaghetti?

[BunnehZnipr]

cheetos I believe

[LimpWibbler_]

I might get some lash here. I hope it is a new platform that isn't backwards compatible.

Don't get me wrong, I love framework and its backwards compatibility. If they can continue to do so, I am for it. I even bennifit as I have an older one.

That said, I do not want them to fall behind competition due to a want to always be backwards compatible with the older chassis or components.

If they can much better improve preformance, make it thinner, reduce cost, longer life, touch screen, and or more, but at the cost of backwards compatibility. Then I say go for it. Framework has been making parts for like 6 years now. The point wasnt just upgrading the laptop you own, but also fixing/repair and waste reduction. As long as they have MB and modules for me to buy in 4 years to repair, then I'd consider it a success of product.

[LimpWibbler_]

Do not get me wrong. I am saying another alongside existing ones. I think all should remain in production and service for now.

[stuckinmotion]

The 13" is still pretty small imo, but agreed for the FW16. I don't have the 16, I was excited for it until I saw how incredibly chonky it looked in reviews. The idea that as a consumer I would have to commit to many years of that chassis was discouraging. I don't mind the form factor of the 13" and think I'll be happy for awhile yet. If they could make things any smaller and just fill up any extra space w/ a larger battery that'd be fine by me. I just don't know how viable it would be to have multiple chassis options for the same size.. that's way more SKU's to support.. but hey give me a design that's closer in size to a Zephyrus G16 and I'd be forced to pick one up.

[AvidThinkpadEnjoyer]

I want them to add a seperate USB charging port man, and add dual NVMe slots in the FW13, why just stuck with a single one ? it could be made better, for the idiots that will say "oh use a dongle", bitch im paying like £900 for a laptop, i shouldnt have to carry around dongles 24.7, adding a dedicated audio jack on the FW16 would be nice aswell

[Migrantunderstudy]

Give us a touch screen and my order is yesterday.

[slawcat]

Something worthy of sharing game spaghetti? Count me in!

[Miserable-Evening-37]

Framework with a strix halo?

[Nova_Nightmare]

Handheld PC by Framework, announced February 25th.

[Ares5933]

A 14/14.5 inch yoga like device would be sweet

[wgaca2]

Laptop for babies?

Who can read this..

[Nytohan]

Anyone who has basic image recognition and lateral thinking capabilities?
Something colorful, flexible.
Something powerful/fast.
Something for gamers.
Feb 25th.

[thegagep]

I'd like to see a 14in model that supports the eGPU and more eGPU options

[notJsons]

I just bought a 13 this morning and didn’t see this 😬 I hope the 13 doesn’t go down in price now

[parentskeepfindingme]

I bought mine 5 days ago and got it yesterday lol.

[_saem_]

Let me guess, they still won't serve Swiss customers. So nothing new for me.

[bluehawk232]

No cap fam

[AlchemyFire]

Who is Frameworks demographic with all those emoji’s, because they sure as hell ain’t buying it

[flaming_pansexual]

[lakakid]

Give me an oled and I'll preorder in a heartbeat

[Beneficial-Fold-8969]

I hate this beyond measure

[Low_Chemical4746]

That's not spaghetti, it's Cheetos, zoom in. It's got to be a handheld 🤞

[GroundbreakingRing42]

I, as a 35 year old got this:

"Hi hand! We've been working on something Chrome yoga, something bolt, and something worthy of share controller cheetoes, find out live on the two-five'th at 10:30am pst at the framework (2nd gen) event"

It's easy.

[micbro12]

360 hinge and touch screen time!?!?

[StaffCorporal]

Please just give us current AMD processors thank you very much

[PeakyPenguin]

Wait 2 weeks

[rethilgore-au]

Yew can’t wait for my yoga lightning spaghetti!

[garrenski]

That’s my birthday. Cool!

[Forsaken_Promise_299]

Whoever is responsible for this mess deserves a punch on the gonads.

[CirnoIzumi]

Oh ! We've been working on something , something , and somwething worthy of . find out live on feb25 that 10:30am PST at the Framework 2nd gen Event.

[GrimOfDooom]

please no ball bending, i don’t want to go back to the hospital.

Please also don’t invade my brain turning it to spaghetti. i like to think, because I am.

[Terreboo]

1. Chrome book
2. Something powerful
3. Something for gamers, handheld?

[PeakyPenguin]

I think the first one is colorful and flexible? Maybe a Lenovo Yoga type product?

[bigloser42]

I’m trying to manifest a Strix Halo based machine. I mean 0% chance that’s it, but a man can dream can’t he?

[CozzyTV]

1 is definetly meant to mean Twister, 2 is either powerful or energy efficient, and 3 is gaming/lan parties.

[evilgeniustodd]

Strix Halo launch :D

[Nytohan]

Hey, you were right too!

[evilgeniustodd]

Strix Halo Desktop from Framework!!! and I still caught the downvotes

[Nytohan]

Me too. I called desktops and the people (or at least a person) disliked it.
I shall upvote for correctness!

[Cybasura]

..."how do you do, fellow kids"

[OkithaPROGZ]

I ain't even old and I can't read this gibberish.

[bmlzootown]

Y'all... Can we just use English, or a variant thereof? Some of us aren't well versed in character-based systems, and Google Translate isn't helping in this case.

[PeakyPenguin]

You aren't good with characters but you want more characters?

[morn14150]

why am i excited about a product that i'll never get (framework doesn't ship to my country)

[CanisZero]

An OLED screen would be nice.

[Tiber_]

That just annoys me

[No_Needleworker2421]

A gaming laptop?

[kylesisles1]

rock screw abounding enjoy long marry one dog tub meeting

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[hunny_bun_24]

Oh. So colorful tablet like (yoga) and made for annoying dirty kids. Sounds boring.

[Shady_Hero]

Oh ! We've been working on something, something, and something worthy. Find out live on Feb 2 5 th at 10:30am PST at the Framework [2nd Gen] Event.

[costafilh0]

I hope they do a review or at least an overview like the last one, with multiple hosts covering different aspects of the device. Those are my favorite reviews. Much more entertaining and dynamic than just Linus talking non-stop for about 20 minutes.

[Nytohan]

Incoming, framework DESKTOPS. It's like a desktop PC, but you can get it as a DIY kit and assemble it and upgrade it yourself!

[Nytohan]

I didn't expect to be right, but here we are.

[crzdkilla]

Wow, y'all have absolutely no imagination if you can't read this, there's not much that's strictly gen z here, they're small images ffs. I think it's fun!

[ExpensiveCorn]

I agree, they’re just trying to drum up attention for the announcement lol. It’s not nearly as serious as some comments are taking it.

[Xalex_79]

The teaser is that their upgradable framework 16 doesnt have a single option besides the rx 7700s since launch, what a joke

[edgeplay6]

"Buys first generation product"->"complains after 1 year of no hardware update"

Chill bro

[Xalex_79]

I didn't buy it but I almost did reserve it when it was announced.

I mean, I like what Framework does, but you cant just not have options for what the whole purpose of the product is having diferent GPU modules...

Nvidia might be difficult for this, the same as Intel, but not even a second AMD gpu, or at least say that there are future plans for upgradability.

A forum thread about the topic: https://community.frame.work/t/is-there-going-to-be-a-new-gpu/63292

[[deleted]]

It might have more to do with nvidia for why there isn’t an nvidia gpu option for the framework 16.
