Framework is now available in Australia

Great to see. Although it just makes me more sad that I think I can't live with the screen size / resolution. I buy laptops as portable workstations and for me 14.5-15 inch is the threshold where the screen becomes sufficient to work for full productivity. The new 16" Macs are amazing in this regard.

But I'm excited nonetheless and perhaps at some stage I could see this being a nice companion to my full size laptop for other purposes.

How does 16" screens work on planes? I'm in the market for a new laptop (any ETA on Norwegian support for frameworks?) and the 16" screens of the new Thinkpads are looking very nice.

Haven't travelled for a few months but in the case of the 16" macbooks, they have the same external profile as the older 15" models because the bezels are so small and the camera notch is embedded into the screen space. I don't expect it will be highly usable on a plane, but it won't be worse than 15". Not sure what the screen design on the Thinkpads is but unless they've done the same trick of implementing a notch that protrudes into the screen for the camera, I couldn't see how they'd be as good.
