Somebody give the company millions of dollars so that they increase their production capacity, design a 17 inch version of the laptop, improve the durability, and lower the cost of the products so that even people from third world countries, with some effort, can afford some for themselves and also support the Framework company in the long run.

They're doing an amazing job quality wise.

Why a 17 inch when a 16 is coming?

Agreed though it would be nice to have lower prices for the masses (and masses might bring scale for lower prices) but for now having higher end devices for less price sensitive folks makes sense - not sure if millions with an M would be enough, maybe hundreds of them

I want a U processor in a bigger chassis. I hope they develop a same replica of the 13 but in a 17in having the same components. Not everyone wants or needs a processing power.

It's a matter of preference.
See, given that the machine is fully upgradable, to be quite frank, 17 inch is an ideal size for the components, and for the customization.
For how thin the laptop can be, I'd reference the dimensions of the Lenovo Legion 5i 17. The Framework 17 would thus, have bigger fans, bigger vents, and potentially, greater battery size.

Same here, estimated delivery date is 28th, Vancouver Canada.

I saw that the delivery address can be changed through the fedex interface. Anyone that has experience with this? I'm changing address on the 1st of December and it's being shipped to the new address. But since it will arrive early it might be better to ship it to the old address... Or maybe I should just be patient

best to have them hold at a fedex facility for you to pick it up at... safe no matter the delivery that way
