It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.
This nonsense company is too expensive for regular people
It would be nice if they partnered with fairphone.
Please let it be a smart TV.
I’m sure a Framework phone is at least an idea for them to produce. Definitely an extremely difficult challenge. It would be nice if it allowed for removable RAM, but it could be hard due to SODIMM being relatively large or due to RAM being put on SOCs. I imagine it shouldn’t be too much to ask for removable storage at least, given how small NVME drives can get. Upgradable SOC/motherboard is a must.
I want one with an e-ink display. That way I can swap out the e-ink display when I need to for a proper display. That wouldn’t work on a normal laptop but should work for their uniquely modular design.
I don’t know if it will work for your use case, but you can attach an external eInk display to any laptop or desktop.

I don’t know how well eInk would work for most tasks, though. I mean, sure, it’s great for reading documents, and you can do so outside on a sunny day. But most PC software isn’t designed to work well with a slow refresh rate.
The battery life savings on an e-reader with an eInk display compared to an LED or LCD screen can be very large, but then the software is designed for it.
If I were only gonna read documents, I think I’d lean towards just loading them onto an eInk e-reader. That just takes, what, a fraction of a minute? Then all the software is designed around the screen’s characteristics.
I want to use it programming so I don’t get eye strain from staring at a screen all day, and the display is mostly white text on a black background anyway.
Obviously I invert that on an e-ink display. It’s white on black is to reduce the amount of white light that I get blasted with. When you’re programming most of the screen is blank because each individual line of code isn’t really that long in most cases it’ll be shorter than in English sentence.
