They are sold in Europe, no need to wait!

I think framework are worthy of support even though the company is American.

1. Regardless of who you buy from... Manufacture including assembly is done in east Asia. That's where most of your money is going.
2. Framework are not tech giants. They're a small company battling giants.
3. The ethos of ownership, repair and upgrade needs supporting.
4. They've been following through on their promises.

So yes, I'm not buying US goods as much as I can also. I make an exception for Framework. They're the resistance in an occupied nation.

I propose a little cultural exchange. I'm sure Framework and Fairphone could stand to do a little cross pollination.

Are framework products not available in the EU?? They've been making stuff for years I figured surely they would be

You shouldn't buy based on promises or assumptions. But if I had to guess, I'd say an OLED panel may come eventually. And it would likely be backwards compatible.

Original FW13 owners already had the original glossy panel, then the new matte higher resolution panel came out as a drop in replacement, and now this new touch panel is also a drop in replacement.

I already have a FW13 with the matte high res panel, I won't be going to touch panel. But maybe if they do an OLED I'd jump to it.

My plan is not to upgrade unless I need to. If something breaks, it'll get the newest version of whatever that thing is.

Unless I feel hampered by my 7040u in 3 or 4 years, then maybe I'll do something about it? But I really don't need that much horsepower in my life.

I'm just glad I have the option. And happy to support a company giving me the option.

If bribing a fascist president with a literal gold bar, refusing to comply with EU law and then complying maliciously years later, global tax dodging, and anti-competitive behavior isn’t enough to piss you off sufficiently, I’m not sure what will.

When the Motorola Graphene phones are available, I’m dumping my iPhone, which is my last Apple device.
