It's v1 from a relatively new company, trying something unprecedented. I'm not surprised it has some major flaws. The first Gen framework 13 did as well.
I own a Gen2 and a Gen3 framework 13 and they are both phenomenal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a slim laptop, that wasn't overly concerned about cost.
I'm sure the Gen3 FW16s will be great as well, but it's going to be a bit before I would recommend them to anyone.
What I think would be great for framework to do next is to design a purpose built eGPU for the framework 13. I would really enjoy something that would turn the FW13 into a decent gaming PC, while still retaining the portability for travel.
I wonder why they didn't apply any of their lesson's learned from the 13 models to the 16...it's not like they're starting from scratch with no knowledge, several of the issues mentioned should not exist on a concept that has had multiple iterations already.
