Perhaps because this is mostly the same information as the Phoronix post already on the community. I posted this here regardless because there is value in having the official blog post on the topic posted here.

    This is the first time we’ve done this kind of YouTube-first launch, and we’re excited to see what you think of it. 

    Is a YouTube-first announcement different than a YouTube-first launch, or what does that mean? The Framework 12 and Framework Desktop were announced on a YouTube livestream

    I have had the same use case, but with the USB-C port for different docks.

    If the dock is on the other side I just switch the USB-C port to that side and I'm good.

    It is not a flashy use case, but it is very convenient.

    Not really yet. I’m in charge of purchasing hardware at my company and maintaining them. I’ve been replacing our Lenovos slowly and we have about 10 Frameworks now out of 50.

    The Lenovos has a huge issue with their USB-C charging ports becoming faulty pretty fast. Not sure if that’s normal, but with Framework, I can potentially just replace the port for really cheap.

  • I have a hybrid job and use a dock+kvm at home but thanks to fully implemented USB 4 I only need one cable at the office to power and provide dual monitors.

    I can now travel with a single charger and single cable but going from home to office or back I require only one connection.

    I gave a presentation and the HDMI cable only reached the right side of my laptop, so I switched the port from the left to the right side.

    Pretty mundane, but not possible with any other device.

    I mean just the usual of the changeable ports, I have slowly moved from yubikeys to passkeys, and I decided that I no longer needed a spare USB-A so I shifted to another -C

    Also very, very small, but I sit on one side of the couch where I want the charger on the right. Previously I wanted it on the left. With the Framework, I just swapped which side my “default” USB-C charging port was. Small but impactful!

    That is so cool. I want a Framework laptop so badly. I hope somebody figures out a way to fit a Thinkpad-style keyboard in there eventually (yes, I'm one of those people. there are dozens of us, dozens!)

    Love to hear that FW12 is just as upgradable and repairable as the other laptops.

    My FW13 is just about perfect and I don't see any reason to buy anything that isn't a FrameWork laptop in the future.
