I really want to get a Framework laptop, all their values seem very well aligned with what I want from a laptop maker, but until they offer a model with a larger display I'm stuck waiting. As a developer, I really need at least a 15" display, preferably 16" or 17".

+1 I really wanted a framework laptop, but had to go with Asus M16 in the end due to size limitations.

A dedicated GPU is another missing feature for me. I'm hoping with how powerful iGPU are becoming (amd 7000 looks promising) this should be a non issue hopefully by next purchase.

They support thunderbolt, when I tried a framework laptop for a bit I was able to use an external GPU box when I needed the extra horsepower. But that may not work for your use case of course.

Unfortunately I require something portable as I'm travelling a lot, and that's not something I can easily chuck in my laptop bag!

Good to know though play nicely with eGPUs though for future reference.

Honestly, I thought the same thing, but I am an extremely happy Framework v2 owner, and I don't miss the extra real estate. I have multiple external monitors for when I am coding at home, and don't mind the small screen when I'm not at my workstation. It's so light and portable too, it's easy to pick up and move with one hand. I adore my Framework laptop. I've got Windows 11 running WSL2 on it, and for me it is the ultimate dev workstation.

I totally understand where you are coming from though, as I really was in the same boat. YMMV, of course.

I'd order one instantly if they did a 16" version with a 16:10 aspect ratio. I stopped using external monitors with my laptop years ago because I found that most of the time, the items I had up on the second, third, and fourth screens were more distractions than anything else. I now use a 32" inch 1080p TV as a single screen with the laptop closed when docked (which is rarely the case lately since I had a triple disc fusion in May. I now migrate between my kitchen bar, dining room table, and couch with a folding table due to hurting if in the same position for too long)

I'm largely in the same boat, but I bought one anyway. If they ever offer a model with a larger display I do plan to look at upgrading. I went and did it because I'm almost always docked to my desk anyway and it's not that big a deal when I'm not.

Ill take whatever display size, just looking to earn some more or see something on the cheaper side, honestly, upgradability and repairbility, all else be damned

You might be able to do that now, collect a bunch of refurbished parts and assemble a new laptop yourself.
