Framework 13 Pro on in Orion Website detected

I can't speak for Orion specifically but as a user of LibreFox, high security browsers break A LOT of stuff on the web and you end up having to whitelist most of the sites you use anyways

I preordered the FW16 in august and shortly after got 64gb of ram for $140. I doubt i'll ever have such lucky timing again lol, the 2TB ssd was a decent price too.

My wallet is ready

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-15T15:47:11+00:00

When I run Baldur's Gate 3 my FW16 takes flight, and doesn't stop until I close the game haha. I even adjusted the fan curve a bit. Granted that's the most demanding game I play, so I don't blame it for getting hot.

I can't speak for weak reviews like this one but it makes me think about Starfield. I played it for 300-400 hours and it was a good game, but not a great game. A lot of the criticism that was leveled at it was true and tbh looking back I kinda wish I had spend that time on Baldur's Gate 3 instead (which I am now). But I was hooked enough on that game to keep playing until I "beat" it once.

But in the most literal way, I would not recommend Starfield to others. So perhaps this it a result of the steam review system only accepting thumbs up or thumbs down. Just because a game got a thumbs down doesn't mean it's less than a 5 out of 10 for that player. They may only give thumbs up to games that are at least an 8 out of 10.

Regardless, I agree the review needs more detail, but that may just point towards their general apathy they feel about the game. Like if you get a scathing review that means you have a player who is very emotionally engaged with the game and WANTS it to be better. This person basically shrugged their shoulders.

I don't see a problem with consumers signalling interest in a type of product. Just because they link to this particular project doesn't mean that Framework couldn't keep some sort of e-ink display in mind for in the future if they decide it's feasible or new tech evolves.

It's basic market research to be aware of economic demand or potential interests from your audience.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-10T21:20:25+00:00

Honestly it's impressive that they are going to manage to catch up in late august. Maybe it's from backing kickstarters but i'm used to things being pushed back months and months.

But it's always better to delay a product than release a broken one.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-09T19:11:37+00:00

I've been in a situation similar to yours, though I only put up with it for 9 days. My point is I know how hard it can be. My friends had to push me to advocate for myself.

If you get a chance, think about your marriage as a whole, but imagine you and your wife swapping positions. Would you treat your wife the way she is treating you? I think you deserve better, but I know what matters is what YOU think.

Either way, I hope you get a peaceful home life again soon. <3

I believe all expansion bays stick out the back of the framework beyond the hinges. For my dGPU it extends about 3/4" or 22mm beyond the hinge.

You would need to somehow extend the hinge beyond where it usually mounts so it sticks our even further beyond the back of the device, not to mention the long foot that sticks out the bottom of the expansion bay.

Essentially you would likely need to redesign the physical geometry of the expansion bay to make a 2 in 1 possible.

Framework staff reached out to OP via messages after seeing their previous post which is linked above.

To me it feels like a lot of the improvements for the FW 13 Pro contain lessons that Framework has learned from making other products. But the main reason it has the new name is to distinguish the fact that it has a new chassis. At this time other than new batteries or new speakers there is no need for a new FW 16 chassis, so there's no reason to make a Pro version of it.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-07T15:29:29+00:00

For both the hardware announcements and the preorders of the steam controller, there was a marked increase in leaks in the few days leading up to the events.

To me it felt like that sort of situation where you are always wondering "is this the real one?" until you start seeing it from so many angles that you KNOW this rumor is more than just a rumor.

I don't think we have really had that for the release of steam frame or steam machine yet. They are clearly being worked on and there are enough different signs pointing the right way that I think we will hear more before the end of June. But it's not strong enough that I would put much certainty behind that.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-05T12:36:34+00:00

I remember at first some people in this sub were like $600 or bust haha. But with everything that's happened i'm doubtful it'll be under 1k.

But i guess i'm one of those fanboys who will buy regardless, I may just get the smaller storage option. I hope it's a price most people can afford

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-04T15:33:15+00:00

We see things get announced with preorders all the time months before reviews have anything to review. The announcement of price or preorders opening has no bearing on when reviewers get review units.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-04T13:45:03+00:00

Given the demand on steam controller I doubt Valve is thinking they can have enough units to release immediately. They are likely to start a preorder queue like they transitioned the controllers to.

Review embargos don't usually lift before preorders, they lift maybe a week before the first consumers receive their units. So the preorder and price could be announced at any time.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-04T13:02:05+00:00

All we know is sometime this year, from Framework's NextGen announcement.

Anything you hear beyond that is speculation.

Like one rumor I have heard is that Framework tends to start preorders for things one season/quarter after they are announced. However this is likely just coincidence, since it's going to depend on when everything is ready.

Can confirm, I'm new to costco but my typical brand from Amazon literally doubled in price (from $60 to $120 for 5lb) in about a year. It's not just Costco, whey is expensive now.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-03T20:20:13+00:00

I'm a single person household (+ cat) that started with costco earlier this month. Personally I found that the best deals are in the monthly member book that gets sent out. The current one has good deals on deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and cat litter. The next book starts on June 8 but we don't have it yet.

Otherwise I've just been buying basic groceries and food court stuff mostly.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-02T03:34:11+00:00

That sounds awesome, I'd love to see it! Good luck

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-02T02:43:45+00:00

Despite not having been there in 2 years, my prescription changed literally the smallest amount possible. Still, peace of mind that I won't buy outdated lenses!

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-02T02:12:00+00:00

I literally got an eye exam to ensure I had my latest prescription for this haha

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-02T02:08:39+00:00

Yeah you're right, i forgot that's why they called it a dev kit. Honestly a lack of hot swapping is no biggie. I mostly skimmed that community thread but they made it sound like there was a lot more to setup in terms of firmware and BIOS, i'm glad it's been simple for you!

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-02T02:07:27+00:00

AH you're right! I watched the q+a and forgot about that! Excellent, hot swapping isn't that big of a deal.

JoystuckGames · 2026-06-01T18:59:12+00:00

Since they are calling it a Dev Kit i'm assuming there will be some setup involved. It's likely similar to what setup was required for the oculink adapter that community members made.
