  2. [00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.640] This is actually our fourth generation
  3. [00:00:01.640 --> 00:00:03.520] in on the Framework Laptop 13.
  4. [00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.400] So every time we do a new product refresh now,
  5. [00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.680] four times in, we really think about
  6. [00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:09.880] what do we wanna do with this thing?
  7. [00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.560] We're getting closer and closer to perfection each time.
  8. [00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.200] And so one thing we do is actually just read
  9. [00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.520] literally every review, we go into the community
  10. [00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:19.000] and see what people are talking about.
  11. [00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:20.320] We go through our customer feedback
  12. [00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.840] and we figure out what do people want out of this?
  13. [00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:24.440] And so we've done a few things.
  14. [00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.560] We've really picked a few key areas of focus.
  15. [00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.560] One was making this the perfect laptop for Linux users.
  16. [00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:34.080] Two, making this the perfect laptop
  17. [00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:36.420] for small businesses and professionals.
  18. [00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.460] And then three, continue to make it a more accessible
  19. [00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:41.880] and easier to use computer really for everyone.
  20. [00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.300] Going past just the earliest adopters
  21. [00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:46.600] into more general consumer audiences.
  22. [00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.400] And we've made a number of changes
  23. [00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:50.180] in the product to achieve that.
  24. [00:00:50.180 --> 00:00:53.960] One is that we've gone to the latest generation
  25. [00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.960] Intel Core Ultra Series 1 processors.
  26. [00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.800] That's not our naming choice.
  27. [00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:01.040] That was Intel's naming choice.
  28. [00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:02.520] You can take it up with them.
  29. [00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.280] But it actually is a really killer processor.
  30. [00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.880] Intel's done a bunch of great stuff this generation.
  31. [00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:11.720] They've gone and improved a bunch
  32. [00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:13.200] of the processor efficiency,
  33. [00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.640] especially around specific use cases like video.
  34. [00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.000] The video playback battery life is actually pretty excellent.
  35. [00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.080] Another thing that they've done
  36. [00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:22.560] is actually redone the graphics architecture.
  37. [00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.040] The graphics performance is like a massive leap
  38. [00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.880] over previous generations.
  39. [00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.760] So I actually took, instead of a Framework Laptop 16,
  40. [00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.880] a Framework Laptop 13 with this main board
  41. [00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:34.400] on a recent trip to Taiwan.
  42. [00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.720] And I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 in flight.
  43. [00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:39.120] And actually the performance was pretty excellent.
  44. [00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.680] One other thing that we've done, of course,
  45. [00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.360] has gone from DDR4 to DDR5.
  46. [00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:48.360] So you can actually put in up to 96 gigs of DDR5-5600
  47. [00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:51.600] with these two SODIMM slots.
  48. [00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:53.640] And just like the previous generation,
  49. [00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.400] Intel has this kind of big core, little core architecture.
  50. [00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.920] So you can get up to six performance cores
  51. [00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.880] along with eight efficiency cores
  52. [00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:03.360] across the different configurations.
  53. [00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.360] So pretty awesome performance,
  54. [00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:08.280] great generational leap from Intel.
  55. [00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:09.720] One other thing we've done, of course,
  56. [00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:12.680] going back to making this the perfect product
  57. [00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.880] for Linux users, is resolving what was probably
  58. [00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:18.840] the last major sticking point for Linux usage,
  59. [00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.960] which was actually our display resolution.
  60. [00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.160] We have a pretty great display, actually,
  61. [00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:24.760] in the Framework Laptop 13 already.
  62. [00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:26.640] The resolution's good, the color space is good
  63. [00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.400] with 100% sRGB, great contrast, great brightness.
  64. [00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.760] But on basically every parameter,
  65. [00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:34.040] we've made that display even better.
  66. [00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:35.360] And so the one thing, of course,
  67. [00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.680] that makes it perfect for Linux is that instead
  68. [00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.320] of a resolution that forces you into fractional scaling,
  69. [00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:45.840] we've gone up to 2880 by 1920 resolution,
  70. [00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.840] which has two really great advantages.
  71. [00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.680] One is that the pixels are basically invisible.
  72. [00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.840] From a normal viewing distance,
  73. [00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.440] you actually can't see the pixels at all,
  74. [00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:56.800] and so text looks super sharp.
  75. [00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.600] But the thing that makes it really great for Linux,
  76. [00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:02.160] especially, is that that resolution makes it perfect
  77. [00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:04.720] for two-to-one scaling.
  78. [00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:06.720] So instead of needing to use fractional scaling,
  79. [00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:09.720] you can use 200% scaling, and everything actually
  80. [00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:13.600] just looks perfect from a size perspective in the UI.
  81. [00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:15.840] Of course, we've also improved a few other things.
  82. [00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.040] One is that it's 120 Hertz display
  83. [00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.240] with variable refresh rate support instead of 60 Hertz.
  84. [00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.920] And so, of course, it makes it good for gaming,
  85. [00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:26.360] but it also just generally makes it great for productivity.
  86. [00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.280] You can scroll super smoothly.
  87. [00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.360] You can move your cursor around,
  88. [00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.720] and you can actually really see the smoothness
  89. [00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:33.840] that comes from that higher refresh rate.
  90. [00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:35.520] We've also actually increased the brightness.
  91. [00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.280] So this goes up to 500 nit now,
  92. [00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.040] which means that it is pretty awesome
  93. [00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:43.320] for use in outdoor environments, in bright sunlight,
  94. [00:03:43.320 --> 00:03:44.480] without needing to think about
  95. [00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:46.320] where you're placing your laptop.
  96. [00:03:46.320 --> 00:03:48.880] And of course, we've kept that 1500-to-one contrast.
  97. [00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:51.120] We've kept that 100% sRGB color space.
  98. [00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.280] So really a pretty amazing display.
  99. [00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.400] And it's compatible, of course,
  100. [00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.000] not just with our latest generation of Framework Laptop 13,
  101. [00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.960] but because we always design our products
  102. [00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:03.240] to be totally interoperable across the entire set
  103. [00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.360] of Framework laptops we've ever shipped.
  104. [00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.000] You can actually get this 2.8K display
  105. [00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.280] and drop it into any Framework Laptop 13 that we've shipped.
  106. [00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.320] And so this is also available for pre-order today.
  107. [00:04:14.320 --> 00:04:18.440] And start shipping in August alongside the laptops.
  108. [00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:19.560] The display is an option
  109. [00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.440] on our Framework Laptop 13 DIY edition.
  110. [00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:24.840] So you can choose between either the original display
  111. [00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:26.480] or the new display.
  112. [00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.520] They both, of course, are three-by-two aspect ratio.
  113. [00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:31.600] They both have this matte anti-glare surface.
  114. [00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.880] And then, of course, you can also pick up that display
  115. [00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:35.400] in the marketplace to put
  116. [00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.200] into any existing Framework Laptop 13.
  117. [00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:40.680] And then in terms of the configurations overall,
  118. [00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:41.520] of course, in addition
  119. [00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:45.400] to this brand new Intel Core Ultra Series 1
  120. [00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:48.080] powered Framework Laptop 13s,
  121. [00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:52.840] we also have our current AMD Ryzen 7040 series
  122. [00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:54.160] Framework Laptop 13s.
  123. [00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.480] We now have new configurations
  124. [00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.280] of the DIY edition there as well,
  125. [00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:01.840] where you can pick up optionally that 2.8K panel
  126. [00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:04.320] as well as the new webcam built into it.
  127. [00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:06.440] There is one thing that's a little bit weird
  128. [00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:07.440] on this display.
  129. [00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:08.960] If you take a close look, you can see
  130. [00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:13.200] that actually the corners are rounded, physically rounded,
  131. [00:05:13.200 --> 00:05:15.160] not digitally rounded.
  132. [00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.480] That's not something that we did on purpose.
  133. [00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.280] When we looked at doing a higher resolution display,
  134. [00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:22.200] we went deep into the supply base
  135. [00:05:22.200 --> 00:05:24.200] and looked at every possible option
  136. [00:05:24.200 --> 00:05:26.480] to deliver on that improved display.
  137. [00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.920] And we found that there was a display
  138. [00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.160] that was actually pretty close to what we needed
  139. [00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.560] but had these physically rounded corners.
  140. [00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.000] And so our choices were basically to either take that
  141. [00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.000] or spend an insane sum of money
  142. [00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.560] to build a completely custom panel
  143. [00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.600] that didn't have those rounded corners.
  144. [00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.920] And so thank you to whichever laptop maker
  145. [00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.160] paid for 90% of the development of this display
  146. [00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.200] with rounded corners.
  147. [00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:53.160] We really appreciate it 'cause we didn't have to pay that.
  148. [00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.320] And so what we did is took that panel
  149. [00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:57.160] and customized it a bit to make sure
  150. [00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.920] that it fit our Framework Laptop form factor.
  151. [00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.880] And we also actually increased the brightness
  152. [00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:03.960] over what that original version was.
  153. [00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:07.040] But as a result, we've been able to deliver this display
  154. [00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.760] in a pretty short period of time
  155. [00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:10.600] with all that great functionality,
  156. [00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.680] but you just have to accept that slight rounding
  157. [00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:13.520] in the corners.
  158. [00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:15.600] You get used to it over time though.
  159. [00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.420] One other thing we've done that's pretty awesome
  160. [00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:21.700] is we've gone and built a new webcam
  161. [00:06:21.700 --> 00:06:25.560] into the same form factor as our previous webcam.
  162. [00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.460] And similar to what we did with the display,
  163. [00:06:27.460 --> 00:06:28.400] we actually thought through,
  164. [00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:31.300] okay, what are people using their webcams for?
  165. [00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:33.480] What do we need this thing to be able to do?
  166. [00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.480] And what we did is actually designed it specifically
  167. [00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.800] around the video conferencing use case.
  168. [00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.360] And so we put in a 9.2 megapixel sensor,
  169. [00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.080] brand new sensor that OmniVision just launched.
  170. [00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:47.640] We're not using it at 9.2 megapixel.
  171. [00:06:47.640 --> 00:06:49.800] It just doesn't make any sense at all to do that
  172. [00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.640] because no video conferencing software
  173. [00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:53.840] could ever actually take advantage to that.
  174. [00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:57.080] And so what we've done is actually used a pixel mode
  175. [00:06:57.080 --> 00:06:59.660] that this image sensor has that's pretty similar
  176. [00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:02.200] to what's in the premium image sensors
  177. [00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:04.120] in most smartphones these days,
  178. [00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.560] where we actually take four sub pixels
  179. [00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:07.680] and group them together
  180. [00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.060] into one giant high sensitivity pixel,
  181. [00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:14.960] which means that when using this new webcam at 1080p,
  182. [00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:17.080] which is typically what you'd use a webcam for
  183. [00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:20.380] in video conferencing, or even 720p,
  184. [00:07:20.380 --> 00:07:23.280] you actually get really, really great light sensitivity.
  185. [00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:26.100] And so in fairly dark environments,
  186. [00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:30.400] it's actually incredibly smooth and low noise
  187. [00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:34.200] in a way that is pretty rare to see in a laptop webcam.
  188. [00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:36.520] So this is something that's not just a pretty big leap
  189. [00:07:36.520 --> 00:07:38.640] over our original webcam,
  190. [00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:40.740] but it's actually pretty substantially better
  191. [00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:43.680] than almost any other webcam we've seen in a notebook.
  192. [00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.740] We've also actually improved the microphone.
  193. [00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:50.740] So we went from 65 dB SNR mics to 67 dB.
  194. [00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.360] So a little bit of a bump there,
  195. [00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.800] and just means that we've got
  196. [00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.600] that slight bit better of audio clarity.
  197. [00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.840] So good, good improvements all around.
  198. [00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.520] We've done a couple of other things with this generation.
  199. [00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:05.360] Again, really responding to the feedback
  200. [00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.040] that we've seen out there in the wild,
  201. [00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.560] from reviews and from existing customers.
  202. [00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.860] We've revamped our thermal architecture on the main board.
  203. [00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:16.560] And so two things we've done here.
  204. [00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.680] One is switch to a single giant heat pipe
  205. [00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.520] instead of a dual heat pipe architecture.
  206. [00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:23.280] So a little bit better performance there,
  207. [00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:25.440] specifically as it maps to that new
  208. [00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:27.440] Intel Core Ultra series processor,
  209. [00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:28.880] the shape of the die there.
  210. [00:08:28.880 --> 00:08:30.260] And then one other thing we've done
  211. [00:08:30.260 --> 00:08:31.980] is that there's actually a little vent here
  212. [00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:33.400] on the side of the fan,
  213. [00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:36.340] where the fan is blowing out air,
  214. [00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:38.920] not just through the heat sink that the heat pipe is on,
  215. [00:08:38.920 --> 00:08:42.700] but blowing air out over the voltage control circuitry,
  216. [00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:45.100] the voltage regulation circuitry on the main board,
  217. [00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:49.000] which helps keep the overall system temperature
  218. [00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.480] a bit cooler and the touch temperature a bit cooler,
  219. [00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.640] while also reducing the fan noise.
  220. [00:08:53.640 --> 00:08:56.480] And we've done that along with revamping
  221. [00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.640] our fan curves in firmware.
  222. [00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:00.680] And so the overall thermal experience
  223. [00:09:00.680 --> 00:09:03.460] and fan noise experience is actually quite a bit better
  224. [00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:05.760] than any of the Intel laptops we've shipped to date.
  225. [00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:09.200] And we really do hope to hear what you think of that soon.
  226. [00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.900] One other thing that we've done on this product overall,
  227. [00:09:12.900 --> 00:09:13.840] that's pretty exciting,
  228. [00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.120] is we are launching a set of new expansion cards.
  229. [00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.600] One, of course, is the SD expansion card
  230. [00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.000] that we've been sharing a bit about on our channel
  231. [00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.420] over the last few months.
  232. [00:09:23.420 --> 00:09:25.640] And so now this is available for pre-order
  233. [00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:28.040] with the new Framework Laptop 13,
  234. [00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:30.520] and it'll ship starting this August
  235. [00:09:30.520 --> 00:09:32.480] alongside those new laptops.
  236. [00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:33.720] The other thing that we've done
  237. [00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.720] is we've built a series of colored expansion cards
  238. [00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.520] that actually match the colors of our bezels.
  239. [00:09:42.520 --> 00:09:44.320] And so you can get your bezel
  240. [00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.280] and your expansion cards all to match,
  241. [00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:49.200] which is pretty fun.
  242. [00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:50.880] And you can just click them in like you can
  243. [00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:52.920] any expansion card.
  244. [00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:56.040] And those are also available for pre-order today
  245. [00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:57.600] with the Framework Laptop 13s.
  246. [00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.520] We're also gonna ship them in August as well.
  247. [00:10:00.520 --> 00:10:03.000] And then, of course, just like everything we do,
  248. [00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.460] all these parts are gonna be available
  249. [00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:05.600] in the Framework Marketplace.
  250. [00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.280] So the laptops, the mainboard, and the display
  251. [00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:10.320] are all available for pre-order today.
  252. [00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.920] We're gonna start shipping the first batch in August.
  253. [00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:17.040] The new webcam, the new SD expansion card,
  254. [00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:18.760] the new color expansion cards,
  255. [00:10:18.760 --> 00:10:21.160] those are all also gonna be available today for pre-order,
  256. [00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:23.600] and we're gonna start shipping them in August.
  257. [00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.360] And then those new business configurations,
  258. [00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.320] which I don't think I talked about at all yet.
  259. [00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.500] So one thing we've done, like I mentioned from the start,
  260. [00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:33.360] one of the focuses was on making this product
  261. [00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.720] really perfect for our businesses and for professionals.
  262. [00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.280] We actually do have hundreds of companies
  263. [00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:42.440] using Framework Laptops today as their primary computers.
  264. [00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:44.860] We were actually kind of shocked by how quickly
  265. [00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:47.320] we got that much interest and excitement and traction
  266. [00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.540] from small and mid-sized businesses especially.
  267. [00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:53.120] And so we've really, really decided to invest
  268. [00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.000] this go-around in making a really ideal
  269. [00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.600] set of configurations for those customers specifically.
  270. [00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.200] And so what we've done this time around
  271. [00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.020] is introduced a series of business
  272. [00:11:04.020 --> 00:11:06.060] and professional-focused configurations
  273. [00:11:06.060 --> 00:11:08.640] that come with Windows 11 Pro,
  274. [00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:11.360] come with a three-year extended warranty,
  275. [00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.360] and also have Windows Autopilot support out of the box.
  276. [00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.760] So really making that business set-up experience
  277. [00:11:16.760 --> 00:11:18.400] as easy as possible.
  278. [00:11:18.400 --> 00:11:21.040] And then we've also been building up our infrastructure
  279. [00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:22.220] around business support.
  280. [00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:25.020] So we've been growing our customer success team
  281. [00:11:25.020 --> 00:11:26.680] as well as our support team to make sure
  282. [00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:29.220] that when businesses do pick up those products,
  283. [00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:32.900] they have just an incredibly smooth and seamless experience.
  284. [00:11:32.900 --> 00:11:34.120] And so those products, of course,
  285. [00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.120] those business configurations are also available today
  286. [00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.260] for pre-order and shipping in August.
  287. [00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:42.700] And then one other thing, just going back to Linux users
  288. [00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:46.480] that we've done is there is one other piece of feedback
  289. [00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.520] that we very, very consistently have gotten
  290. [00:11:48.520 --> 00:11:50.340] from Linux users over the last few years,
  291. [00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:52.440] which is that they don't want to see
  292. [00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.380] the Windows key on their keyboard,
  293. [00:11:54.380 --> 00:11:56.080] which is totally understandable.
  294. [00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.200] We get that.
  295. [00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.280] And so we have introduced a version
  296. [00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:01.480] of the English keyboard,
  297. [00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.720] the International English Keyboard
  298. [00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.080] that has a super key instead of a Windows key,
  299. [00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.840] just like we've done recently on Framework Laptop 16.
  300. [00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.200] And so really trying to build the perfect laptop,
  301. [00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.260] continue to refine it year over year
  302. [00:12:13.260 --> 00:12:15.000] for really everyone who's using it,
  303. [00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.040] but especially this year,
  304. [00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:19.040] focused on making it simple and accessible,
  305. [00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:22.320] making an awesome display, making an awesome webcam,
  306. [00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.920] making the configurations make sense for businesses,
  307. [00:12:26.920 --> 00:12:29.820] making it ideal for Linux users,
  308. [00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:32.200] and continue to make this product better as we go.
  309. [00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.280] The whole team at Framework that worked on this product
  310. [00:12:34.280 --> 00:12:36.920] is just incredibly excited to get this out to you.
  311. [00:12:36.920 --> 00:12:38.480] Everyone was just super passionate
  312. [00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.280] about perfecting this product year over year.
  313. [00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:43.760] And really, I think we're getting there.
  314. [00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:46.160] We're pretty close to perfect on this thing.
  315. [00:12:46.160 --> 00:12:48.760] And so we really can't wait to see what you think of it.
  316. [00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:58.760] [BLANK_AUDIO]
