Interesting that it will have LPCAMM memory. People were speculating about when framework would start using that.

Hopefully they'll bring the new processor to the 16 too so we can get pcie 5.0x8 oculink for external gpus

I'm conflicted, I've recently upgraded to the AMD mainboard in my Framework 13 (luckily right before ramageddon), but the new case, battery, screen, and input upgrades are super compelling. Having to get the new Intel mainboard with the LPCAMM2 memory and new frame to see the battery improvements is why I'm hesitating to pre-order. I don't know, maybe I'll wait for some benchmarks/reviews until I jump the gun. But I watched the livestream and I really applaud Framework for their company ethos and commitment to open hardware. I'm definitely picking up their keyboard/touchpad combo when that's up for pre-order.

The new battery needing a new case and input module is unfortunate. Waiting to see the price; I'd love a bigger battery

I am excited for the new trackpad. Genuinely want to ditch diving board trackpads forever if this is what it claims to be.

Thus is awesome! And it looks like much of the other parts (new input cover, new display) will fit the old chassis. The new battery will require a new bottom cover though, since it takes up more physical space
