I vote to make it even more off center

And adjust the aspect ratio so it’s skewed slightly.

We should make each spoke replaceable and upgradable.

Rotate it into the 3d plane

It reminds me of those hydraulic pumps that have the off set gear thing to smoosh the fluid in and out.

Sure, thanks for pointing this out. I have replaced it with a picture of the logo from the framework github.

Its like that to represent how the parts will fit together after diassembling the laptop more than three times.

When they put a good keyboard in their laptops then they can have a centered logo.

What's the problem with the keyboard? I haven't heard about this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I prefer it to the one on my dell laptop

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just a normal laptop keyboard, which means it sucks. Thinkpads are the only laptops I've tried with nice keyboards, though the newer generations aren't as nice as a few years ago.

If Framework makes a laptop with 2+mm of travel then I'll be all over it. But I bet Lenovo will make a modular Thinkpad before Framework makes a thicc keyboard.

@sentient_loom @MMNT the absence of TrackPoint prevents me from completely switching to a framework laptop.

[–] PainInTheAES 2 points 1 year ago

I quite like the keyboard especially coming from one of the MBPs with the shit keyboard.

[–] swag_money 11 points 1 year ago

a keyboard with a trackpoint 😎

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want a switch hotswap mechanical keyboard with a linear layout option. They can make the laptop thicker.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That would be so good. I'd be happy enough with low profile switches and keycaps as long as I can swap them out and customize the whole typing experience.

This is the kind of extreme customization that somebody has got to pick up on.

It’s a oil pump

I thought framework components were easily replaceable
