Framework 13 Laptop High-Res Screen

David Heinemeier Hansson, on world.hey.com:

But now Framework has fixed it! They’ve just released a new 13.5” screen running a 2880x1920 resolution for a MacBook Pro-beating 256 PPI! And it’s still matte and 3:2! AND 120HZ! Hallelujah!

What’s even cooler is that this new screen can be retrofitted to existing Framework laptops. And that’s exactly what I’ve done. It’s a $269 upgrade, so it’s not cheap, but it’s a hellavu lot cheaper than buying a whole new computer. Not to mention way less wasteful.

That’s very cool. Framework devices are for sure on my radar. I hope they branch out to desktop devices soon so I have an excuse to place with them.

But you can just set it to 60hz when on the go, and you’ll still get those roughly 6 hours of mixed use from the 61wh battery.

Here’s the thing, I’m too spoiled by Apple Silicon to go back to 6 hours of battery life. But still, a great option for Linux users.
