Are they making these in black yet? Or are people still unironically suggesting that you should apply a sticker (dbrand skin) to your $2.5k+ machine if you don't want it looking like an off-brand Macbook.

I smell a business idea - selling prettier cases? After all, the dimensions are well known and even open source. Or not, no idea how much people spend on better looks.

I'd much prefer if Framework just spent the extra $2 while anodizing to add black dye on what is essentially an ultra-premium laptop in terms of price.

There was a guy on Reddit a few years ago who intended to take advantage of this 'business opportunity', but it didn't go anywhere.

Colored anodizing can be significantly harmful to the environment (what Framework said, don't kill the messenger).
