Framework (2nd Gen) Event Goes Live on February 25

We've been hinting that this year is going to be huge, and we're ready to share why… in two weeks on Feb 25th, at our Framework (2nd Gen) Event! We're holding this launch event live in San Francisco and streaming to our YouTube channel at 10:30am Pacific that day. You can sign up now to get notified when the stream starts. The last time we held a live launch event was in March 2023, when we unveiled Framework Laptop 16 and two new versions of Framework Laptop 13. It's been amazing seeing the interest in these products and the incredible ways the community has been using and extending on them. We've been heads down working for the last two years on an even bigger set of announcements.

For this event, in addition to bringing in press and partners, we're opening a pool of invites to the Framework Community to attend the event in person, meet the team, and get hands on with our newest products. If you're a current Framework fan and are in the San Francisco area (or are able to handle your own travel to us), you can apply to attend in this sign-up form. We expect we'll see a lot more interest than we have available seats in our venue, so we'll likely need to downselect from applicants.
We will be opening pre-orders on at least one new item that day, so if you're in the market for repairable, upgradeable, long-lasting consumer electronics products, you may want to create an account ahead of time to be ready. We've scaled up our e-commerce infrastructure massively, but we expect the site will still be under heavy load.

Five years in, we're confident that we're on a fast path to achieving our mission to remake consumer electronics. We're eager to continue supporting and scaling the ecosystems around our current products, and we're ready to bring this mission and product philosophy to even more of the world, one category at a time. It's going to be an awesome day, and all of us in the Framework team can't wait for you to see what we've been working on!
For a hint at what we'll be announcing, head to the event page.

Imma try it:

“Oh hi, we’ve been working on something rolling down, something shocking, and something worthy of messy, controller, spaghetti. Find out live on Feb 25th at 10:30am PST at the framework 2nd gen event. Notify me.”

I think they're trying to be vague on purpose, to stir up speculation but still have something to revel on the 25th. If we want to play such games, I'm going to assume the yoga emoji means they're making a 2-in-1 foldable tablet thing. The lightning bolt? Dunno, maybe a Thunderbolt product like a dock? And the last one is somehow gaming related, judging by the controller emoji. Maybe one of those gaming handhelds that are all the rage now?

Looking at the images, my guess is a 2 in 1 convertible with pen input, an enclosure to re-purpose laptop batteries as an external power bank, and new GPU options for the 16".

Sigh.... as a Gen Zer myself, I depise this kind of nonsense, but I also am aware my peers fucking love it so I suppose their hand was forced. It is a shame they're trying to appeal to my peers though as they are the kind of idiots who don't even have a computer and daddy buys the shiny new iPhone Pro Max every year to make them shut up, so yeah, Framework is making a clear misjudgement here, no one from my age category aside from nerds like me who don't like this kind of messaging is gonna buy from a company like Framework. They don't care about longevity or the planet, they only care about internet clout and watching underage girls do weird shit on TikTok. Please stop.

Gripes about messaging aside, I hope they take the opportunity to release a much more budget friendly option. I was planning on building a new PC, but honestly I kinda prefer laptops as someone who is always on a computer and I would not mind downgrading my specs a bit to support Framework.
