It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

I'd love to see them make other devices. But I want the company to actually be viable and entrenched before they spread themselves even more thinly.

They're already having trouble releasing firmware and driver updates in a timely manner, especially for Windows users who can't rely on driver updates packaged in the kernel.

But man I can think of a few cool Framework devices that I'd be into buying...

i see it as giving their industrial engineers something to do.

when you have to design a chasis for reusability and backwards/fowards compatibility, you dont really have the flexibility to make that many changes. instead of just letting them sit there, its better for them to start designing other things in the meantime.
