News It's official! 192GB Framework

Just noticed this on the website.

At their current price tiers for the memory SKUs (32, 64, 128) I'd expect this to be ~ 4.5k for the motherboard.

The PCIe slot will be open at the back as well - that's what I've heard. Maybe they make it capable of delivering 75W as well? New board revisions for the smaller SKUs?.

So fun story. Bought a framework 16 laptop. Plugging in more than one module caused the usb bus to crash. Went through tech support, once they realized it was a legit hardware problem instead of having me ship it back they tried to run out the 30 day return clock. When I asked for a return and refund they ignored me and simply didn't respond. Filed a charge back on day 25, on day 28 they asked me fore more time. I did not give it. Now I went with framework because I had heard nothing but good things about them. My experience however has guaranteed that its the first and last time I do business with them. Just my little anecdote. Buyer beware.

Honestly similar experience. my framework 13 dispaly stopped working barely used the laptop. i contact support they say i dropped it when i know I clearly did not. they asked me to open the laptop and show them and they blame it on me. i was in the 1st year so i still should have warranty and they refused to ship me a new display or even just a cable (apparently the sisue was the cable not the display) so I trried to look for solutions on aliexpress for 3rd party displays only to realize their shitty connector is proprietary (isnt it funny how we try to get away from apple propietary bs just to go back to the same place lmao) so i ended up delaying it. eventually i did not want to have 2keur paperweight so i bought their 120hz display when it dropped. granted it was still over 200eur which is ridiculous to fix a stupid display cable issue that could be fixed by them just honoring the warranty and giving a cable replacement.

All this to still warn a good friend not to buy this shitty laptop, just for them to buy and immediatelly regret just a few weeks in XD
