    I’d pay it if they had a few things I’m looking for:

    • Trackpoint (Thinkpad nipple)
    • physical mouse buttons, including middle mouse button

    Basically, I want the ThinkPad keyboard on a Framework laptop.

      My main problem with those prices is not even the value for money (albeit imo there is quite a disparity here), but the financial damage when lost/stolen. For private use, I just don’t want to carry any device around that is substantially more expensive than ~1000 EUR.

      And the only thing that Framework has to offer me that no one else insise the EU has, is 15+ inches without a num block and with centered touchpad. The market share of laptops with num blocks (and accordingly off-center touchpads) is infuriatingly high and tells me 99.5% of people either have a tiny left hand or do no serious typing on the keyboard.

      There are people out there that use those nipples wow! I guess everyone has their preference, for me 120hz screen is a must.

        Being able to move the mouse while you’ve got dirty and moisty hands or wearing gloves while watching diy videos on cars is always a god send
