They already shipped 2 generations of mainboards and more or less everything is really fine. They have good support + upgradability (former Thinkpad user, took Framework with 32RAM, but in the process realized that I need 64 -> not a problem at all), had 0 problems with drivers on Windows 11(but had some on Linux Mint). As about keyboard: just buy transparent stickers with your language, no need to wait for them to prepare engraved keyboards with "all layouts".

Oh I know about framework, I'm looking forward to owning one.

But stickers are not a viable solution. Even though I've been typing on keyboards since the 80s, and placed in top 10 on typeracer ;) I still want actual keys and not stickers that will be worn out within months.

And delivery in "Q3" is also not a good situation. That means people who are buying these already have a laptop that works. I generally don't want to own that many devices that I don't use.

So I'm really looking forward to a time when framework laptops are treated just like any other Dell or Lenovo.
