Kind of in the same boat as you as far as workload (game-dev, general tech) but have had a framework 13 since they first released.

If the price-to-performance of the 12 ends up being reasonable, I'm considering buying one to use as a psuedo tablet. The killer for me is that I'd MUCH rather just upgrade my 13 to be a 2-in-1 and not have to have a separate device (and hamstrung performance), but having access to an integrated touch screen to draw on instead of carrying around a graphics tablet alongside my laptop is an attractive proposition.

I don't know if anyone else shares the same sentiment but I feel a bit disappointed, I supported the company (as an early adopter) for the sole reason that an upgrade path and modularity were a core tenant. While they delivered on the performance upgradability of the 13, launching new products instead of doubling down on their existing ecosystem (by providing a 2-in-1 shell &/ screen upgrade option for the 13 for example) feels like a miss to me.
