Will order one the day there is an AMD option.

This is the problem with trying to please power users. There is no monolithic bloc of them. They all want different things.

AMD vs Intel? Touchscreens? Strong opinions about screen aspect ratio and resolution, keyboard layout, touchpads, wifi chipset brand, GPU brand, etc.? All there.

I wish the company luck, but they are targeting the most picky consumer market there is.

Isn't this supposed to be a strength of framework? Their machines are pretty modular. Users should get to pick and choose AMD vs Intel, keyboard layouts, wifi chipsets without framework having to design different machines for each configuration.

Everyone says that, but realistically, at the size of their company, I can't imagine they have the resources to design, test and support both Intel and AMD designs in parallel at the present.

HW development is insanely capital intensive and they're far away from the resources of the likes of Asus and MSI, let alone Lenovo or Dell.

And then the posts will be "I'll order it once they build a custom ARM soc" :).

They recently recieved a fair chunk of funding so are on the growth path. I hope they do release a 15inch AMD based device.

AMD doesnt bribe^^^award Meet Competition Payments in form of free shit like SSDs for the design wins.
