Hi, thanks for hanging around; the idea seems exciting! A few questions (likely FAQs):

1. How much thicker & heavier is this laptop than similar screen size MacBook Pro and Thinkpads? (Is the battery life comparable?)

2. Is there soldered-on RAM and/or expansion slots?

3. Can this run linux without any hitch?

The website is back up!

We're at almost exactly the same thickness and weight as a MacBook Pro 13-inch, and lighter and thinner than most T-series ThinkPads.

The storage, both memory sockets, and WiFi are socketed for upgradeability, and the entire mainboard is upgradeable too!

We're testing for compatibility with major linux distributions, and expect near complete support (with potentially only the fingerprint reader driver coming in later).

FYI you probably already know this, but I get a 500 server error attempting to access https://frame.work/products/laptop

its a good problem to have
