I maintain a 17 year old ThinkPad

Framework is still very new. It takes time to build a brand. I hope their new Framework 12 hits it big with the mainstream. It sounds like it’s targeted as the school/chromebook market, but as an adult I’m also interested. I’m hoping when the pre-orders go up next week it’s priced in a way that makes it an impulse buy. I really don’t need it, but I want to support the company and their mission.

As someone that had been thinking on buying both a tablet and some sort of chromebook for light web based workflows on the go, they 100% have my attention

I will say, it has weirded me out that they have been so cagey about the pricing in particular, which AFAICT, is the only thing not public about the laptop before the pre order date

Probably worried about tariffs. Now they know.

Now they need to arrange selling and shipping from outside the US for their non US customers so they aren't affected :)

I also saw no mention about the weight. Did you? Matters to me a lot for a 12".
