The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition
I hesitated posting this, because I don&#x27;t want to be too negative, but: ugh.  ChromeOS is just more Google adware&#x2F;tracking-ware, locking people into the Google ecosystem, and (by default, at least) creating a more locked-down environment than a general-purpose OS would have (not quite iOS or even Android, but still not with the flexibility of a &quot;mainstream&quot; OS).  I feel like Framework could be spending their time doing much better things.  Granted, if they believe that this will be a big boost to their bottom line &#x2F; margins &#x2F; sustainability, then I&#x27;m in favor of it on the grounds of helping make sure Framework is a successful company.<p>My hope was that this is just running on the standard Framework laptop hardware, but it looks like it required a bit of a mainboard redesign, as well as a different input cover and keyboard.  Extra hardware like that just makes their offering more difficult for a customer to navigate and understand, not to mention the added support and manufacturing burden on the company&#x27;s side.
