It's hard to justify Framework 12 existing. Framework 16 too.

What's the point of making 3 different modular laptops where most of the pieces are specific to the model? You can't move the mobo or any component really from one to the other except for the USB pieces.

What they really should have done is make all the models take the same mobo, batteries, keyboard, etc..., and then made a specific screen/hinge to turn the 13 into a tablet.

Instead they fractured their own ecosystem and only the 13 (now 13 pro) feels like a polished product.
