The new and upgraded Framework Laptop

I would buy a 15/16” version of this in a heartbeat :) I really hope another chassis with a larger screen is in the cards for framework!

I like the 13" but totally agree.

17" 4k please! (yes, I can do coding with that resolution at 120% scaling)

Right now I'm using a 17" Dell Precision which is a brick of a laptop that weighs over 3.5kg and whose battery life can be measured in minutes as my primary work machine.

I would buy a 17" framework to replace it in a heartbeat

Hdpi, with a more sane aspect ratio and hdr that is suitable for graphics work would be high on my wish list.

I actually like using Darktable. And I like using it on a good screen better. So even though I have a Linux laptop that runs Darktable very nicely (even with just Intel Xe graphics), I actually do a lot of photo editing on my 8 year old imac, which has a 5K screen, fantastic contrast & colors, etc. It shows me stuff my laptop is simply incapable of showing. Darktable runs like a dog on it but at least I can see what I'm doing properly and have enough screen real estate to actually fit the tools in the sidebar on the screen without having to scroll.

I'd love to see Linux laptop that is optimal for graphics, movie editing, etc. Mediocre 1080p screens are simply not good enough anymore. Apple stopped shipping anything non hdpi years ago. Even the cheapest macbook air has a decent screen. Decent contrast, easy to calibrate, beautiful colors and excellent dynamic range. Probably best in class by any objective measure. Why can't Linux users get screens that good? It's not like Apple doesn't buy their parts from the same usual suspects in China and Korea when it comes to screens and other things you need to build a laptop.

The only thing stopping me from switching from MBP.

Framework is a giant step forward though. Pretty much everything I could want otherwise.

Yeah, my 13" laptop just died on me, and it was just too uncomfortable for me to risk buying another 13" laptop.

The Ethernet port is a big bonus for me too. Oh wells.
