Project I've been working on that I'm very passionate about. A fully upgradeable gaming handheld where you can upgrade the battery, mainboard (cpu), ram, storage by utilising Frameworks modular components. I will be selling it soon as a DIY kit for those that want another way to reuse (or buy new) their Framework components. Can be currently upgraded to a Ryzen 7840U mainboard and a 61Wh battery for maximum performance. Components used in video: Intel 1260p mainboard 16GB ram 512gb ssd 55Wh Battery dual speakers 7 inch FHD touchscreen High speed WIFI & Bluetooth

Only initial thoughts are why in their right mind are they using windows on a handheld device

    What I worry about is the developer kneecapping the whole thing by not releasing design files and BOMs for 3D prints and PCBs under an open source license. The point of a device like this is going to be longevity, upgradability, and repairability. Having to rely on some dude to keep making a kit is completely antithetical to that. I love the idea of being able to repurpose my framework parts in different ways as I upgrade, but I won’t be jumping to buy a kit that I can’t trust to be available a year later.
