Hype. Love my OG Framework 12. I never minded the lack of keyboard backlight since I can touch-type, but having programmable keyboard firmware will be a must so I can kill the Airplane Mode key that is interpreted by the EC instead of by the OS. It's the “lose your match” button if I ever accidentally press it :p
I love Framework's product launch style. So down to earth.
"These are the top 5 things people have been asking for. We've update 3 of them".
Acknowledging that they haven't done everything people have been asking for but are still working on problem areas somehow comes over as so much more professional than just putting your head in the sand and pretending they're not important.
Being able to upgrade things later is the killer feature.
As an owner of an original framework 12 I will probably get the fingerprint reader, I underestimated how much I ended up missing it.
Upgrading the CPU for better battery life does not seem worth it to me though.
Man that's the coolest part of this brand. It's so awesome to just be able to say "I will probably get the fingerprint reader" and just leave it at that.
Mine works without any issues, hard to say if I got lucky or if the number of issues are not as bad as it seems judging by shared experiences. I am happy with it, but I also lucked out by buying 64 GB RAM for it before prices went up.

How is the QC and all?
