I bought a Framework laptop, new screen is cheap and very very easy to swap in yourself.

Framework is my dream machine, still waiting for an Australia launch.

Also hoping we'll see them execute on some additional keyboard layouts (or someone will) - avoiding Mac-like keyboards is one of my primary desires laptop wise.

I'd love a split, ortholinear, semi-ergonomic keyboard for a laptop but know it'll never happen on a mass-market device. The framework has the best change of making it possible because they couldd just sell that keyboard to those who want it without needing them to sell the rest of the laptop as part of the package. Still not likely to happen, but I can dream...

I had to check.. $179!! That's amazing.

Cheaper than a Chromebook! It looks like I'll have to buy one.

Depends on the Chromebook. I've got a $99 one and it's surprisingly decent: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-chromebook-3-11-6-hd-lap...

The trackpad works better than any windows laptop I've used.
