I want to like framework, but whenever I've seen one of them in person I was pretty disappointed about the case/chassis. And the touchpad.

For me personally, weight doesn't matter that much, and neither does configurability (I guess by now they have data on the most popular port choices for example).

But size (as small/minimal as possible for a given screen and keyboard size – minimal bezels for both) and strength (no flex, solid hinge) do matter to me.

I understand these two things conflict with themselves, and with the framework's repairability and configurability.

Still, I'd like to see some true innovation there. I'm just afraid they painted themselves into a corner with their current mainboard design, and won't be able to diverge from that to bring us something truly solid yet compact and repairable.
