I do wish that Framework had either expanded into alternative 13" laptop case designs compatible with their hardware or could find a partner who would, before launching a second line of laptops.

I know people have upgraded[1] or put a FW13 mainboard in an old T-series chassis before,[2] but several of those features (hw cam/mic kill switches, field repairability, 3.5mm jack, USB-C PD, tall 4K display, Linux support) are already in a Framework, and the rest could feasibly be implemented in a modern case with appropriate accommodations for FW hardware built in.
