I love this kind of project as a side effect of Framework's work - the fact that you can separately buy all of the various components of a laptop at a reasonable price with no restrictions enables so many new creative use cases. I really like that people are starting to play with form factors like this - anything that pushes us towards more diversity and customizability in computing is great.
Related: this "cyberdeck" project deserves to become a product, hopefully for sale one day at Framework's store.<p><a href="https://github.com/BenMakesEverything/cyberdeck/">https://github.com/BenMakesEverything/cyberdeck/</a><p>I'm totally in love with the expansion cards model, but I'm not ready to spend so much money for a laptop I don't currently need as I'm still fine with my thinkpads, but as soon as they start dying (touches various things), I'll seriously consider getting a Framework.
One of the things I still think about doing is just removing the top screen of my framework and just using a pair of those AR glasses as its main monitor, keeping the bottom chassis as a keyboard/touchpad/mainboard. That's how I end up using my laptop at night anyway, this just avoids the awkward screen.<p>Or if I were to go a step further, retro-fit it into the a ThinkPad keyboard/trackpoint chassis...
I just made a thing for my thinkpad that slides up from the back with two 2k ipad screens so I can have the same ergonomic benefits this provides with the screen up high.<p>Cool project I might build one.
