We will be moving Virgo laptop PCB design to this public, GPLv3 licensed project: https://github.com/system76/virgo/. This will be the most open, modern x86 motherboard design I know of.
I respect that. I do code occasionally and I was only interested in 16:10 or squarer for a laptop. I was very concerned about the high dpi but it has been fine for me.
Ideally I wanted a 14" 16:10 with a high refresh rate and integrated amd graphics but the expandability and ability to maintain the system myself in a fairly remote area sold me on the compromise and I don’t regret it but it isn’t my ideal laptop.
Expanding their product line is very expensive and will take time compared with slapping a badge on generic machines. The 16" framework with 16:10 aspect and 165hz refresh is going to expand their customer base a lot but my ideal is a system that falls in-between the two.
Framework 3:2 screen is a dealbreaker for me though… I’m not a coder so it doesnt benefit me at all
believe me: once you have it, you won’t go back. that extra height also gives the laptop more space for a bigger touchpad, which is also great.
I have tiny hands. Never thought about needing a bigger touchpad
that gba emulation though…
