I REALLY like the presentation style! From the presenter personally, the choice of background music and the cutting and animation. It just flows in a nice, steady, engaging pace that leaves you more informed and in a better mood than before. Stelar job!
That's not possible. For it to be fully featured, it would need a full USB4 hub, which is very large and expensive-not possible for an expansion card. Limiting it to USB2, though, might work, though it would significantly limit the capabilities of the ports (no DisplayPort, no PCIe, limited to ~.5 Gbps compared to 40Gbps, etc.). You then run into the issue of charging. Both ports need to somehow pass through PD negotiation to the host port, but they would also need to ensure that, when both are plugged in, only one of them can negotiate. This needs to somehow interact with the USB2 hub, which then requires custom silicon. Basically, for it to work how you might expect is impossible. For a hugely limited version that loses most of the advantages of USB-C, it would be extremely difficult and require a ton of time and money from Framework. Thus, it probably won't ever happen.
@@amirpourghoureiyan1637 The USB3 chip on the Raspberry Pi 4 uses PCIe, not USB. Thunderbolt does carry PCIe, but the conversion is large and expensive (and probably power-hungry, considering the heat sinks I see, but I don't have good evidence for that). You also still have the problem of PD.
It’s really clever how this has flipped around the idea of external dongles: The expansion card is really a USB-C dongle, but made into a system that works internally for the laptop and accessible to the user.
Met some of the team at LTX and got to play with the product. I’m sold. Quality feeling product, best trackpad I’ve felt short of the MacBooks, and love the modularity and reusability.
Hi Framework folks! I'd recommend lowering the volume of the music a bit, towards 5:37 it starts to get a bit distracting. But I LOVE the concept of these videos, please keep this series going for as long as you can! I'm a software engineer, so getting to know what goes into what my hardware colleagues go is super interesting.
You can't please all the (laptop) people *all* of the time. I have a modest 11th gen i5, reflective (I mean glossy) screen, floppy display cover, quieter speakers, smaller battery, bulbous Ethernet card - yet I still love it. I find it really hard to eject the expansion cards, although they have never jolted free. So many _overall_ good design decisions made by the Framework team
Wow this is remarkable. It's so fun knowing all that goes into this. I never would have imagined it was such a complex process. I really appreciate the enginuity that went into this and I'm so happy to support a company like this in any way possible! Keep it up!
I love these so much! It is so cool that not only do we get the full story behind the full size SD card, but also the entire history of the expansion cards themselves. 🤩
Well my guess is that they see if the Qualcomm X series has serious demand behind it with the other OEMs. Jumping into a first gen product right away might be risky for a small company like framework
Product development by itself is such an interesting thing to learn about, but it's even better when it's communicated so well like in this video. Looking forward to the next
(4:49) It's only now that I noticed that the official modules have the Framework logo embossed in on the inner side, which leads me to think of third-party modules having the respective manufacturer or brand logo printed or embossed instead. (4:57) I have memories of 3.5" diskettes flying across the floor
I didn't know I wanted to know how Framework came up with the idea of expansion cards, but that was educational. I wish phones could be as modular as the Framework laptop.
I wish there was an option to combine 2 (3) expansions, like removing separating wall to make something like big 3x (or 4x) USB expansion, or at least making USB + Jack, or usb c x2
I like the animation at 0:11 and I was thinking, when the Framework (trochoidal?) gear moves to the left it should spin, so it looks like it is rolling.
crazy idea here but could you guys make a docking station that uses those cards? existing framework users could use it to create single cable home work station setups and everyone else could use it to get the dock they want with the ports and features they want
Just a suggestion for an update. When in the long future when you all redesign the chassis make the expansion cards a bit wider so you can have 2 usb c ports next to each other on the same expansion card. Then just have an adapter that is able to make sure the old expansion cards can be used with the new design.
Looking forward to episode 3. I think using a metal plate instead of plastic is a smart way to accomidate the extra mm you need. Let's see what further design choices get made. For example would micro-sd's put in a sd card piece that then gets slotted into an sd card slot cause any trouble. similar to how it works with different size sim cards.
I firmly believe this is a missed opportunity to rely both on USB C as well as either M2 or straight up PCI Express. Though probably for a lean MVP that is too much to ask. But in terms of 16-inch model I really miss being able to plug in an external graphics card (the way Asus almost did). Any plans on including an Expansion Bay module with PCI-E? Having a module with built in mobile GPU with PCI passthrough to plug in eGPU to achieve desktop performance at the desk and laptop performance in transit would be the real holy grail. I dare to say I'd preorder.
Good job with the video! For me the full size sdcard slot is absolutely not necessary because fast adapters with CF, SD a photographer should definitely have. A double Usb-C card would make more sense, even though there is a dedicated charging port (with charging indication LED?). You have the flexibility to write the port type on the outside somewhere.
One thing I wish is that the locking bar between the cards could be optionally removed to allow for 2x tall expansions. I realize this could interfere with orientation since plugging into the left would have a port near the top be near the bottom when rotated 180 degrees to plug into the right. Still, there are several use cases for expansions with more real estate that still sit flush in the unit.
I just don't know how you guys figure out how to handle all the PCI lanes for all the USB devices.. especially on the 16, with more ports and graphics card that's something I would definitely like to know..
USB C makes sense over m.2, however we need an oculink solution for external cards and devices. I realize this would be one per device but literally anything more elegant than cutting a slot in the case of a mini pc or laptop would be huge.
5:40 is slightly puzzling - you are saying that the rails were moved from top to middle, while showing a report that recommends moving them _from middle to top_ due to potential damage. Production cards have the rail in the middle, so, I hope, the alternative mitigation proposal was applied?
Technically, with an MCU like the RP2040 or ATMega32u4, you could set up a USB "parallel port" (with some form of breakout connector) and then use a driver inside your target OS to connect to it as a standard parallel port... I wonder if you could make an oversized module that sticks out of the port and which _does_ actually have a full size port (maybe serial too while you're at it, and possibly PS/2)
@@aaronjamtThe round trip times of USB make it poorly suited for the sort of bitbanging that was done running e.g. JTAG or 5-bit LapLink/FastLynx/PLIP on the parallel port. With more standard protocols like ECP, you can get away with chips like FT245.
So the initial module tolerance was to tight in the end, I understand that it is difficult to balance between device thickness and modularity, but you are doing a good job, can wait for the 16”, and coreboot exciting stuff
I want other vendors use this kind of system, HOW did no other vendor ever think of such a system... instead of build you system to work with a dock, build a modular dock into your system. genius! :D
I think it is a really strange choice to have the modules be too small for a LAN cable. It would have allowed so many more tinkerers to have their own projects as well, since size constraints are the most cited obstacle to implement some niche feature or port
I would have liked to see a flip-down RJ45 jack, like laptops used to have, so that the ethernet expansion module didn't need to protrude so much. This would probably have required a slightly different expansion card design (not sure there's enough room to expand the port downwards as-is), but it could have been taken into account at the start.
An xl card design using two usb c ports that can adapt to two standard cards would bd useful for larger ports that can not fit like dvi, secure card, and compact flash while also allowing for multi port cards like a triple usb a card. Basically allowing for more IO in a snaller package
Love the idea, and it does work. But at least on my example they're so stiff that If my fingernails are too long they'll easily break well before the card comes out.
I'm still in love with this system, fully utilizing usb-c. Absolutely love it! Tho the ethernet expansion card is my least favorite, tho it is understandable why it became what it became. It made me think about __why__ many people need it and if it could be solved from a different angle. Like for example, if they are plugging their ethernet cable into a wall plate: what if that wallplate waa a usb-c port instead?
Loving the content. Only feedback is the amount of cuts in the speaking portions of the video is somewhat distracting, would be better trying to flow longer if possible.
Hey im from the Philippines and i want to get my hands on a framework laptop problem is i cant cause its nott available in my country and im not the only one with this problem many other people wan to get their hands on this great laptop but cant how about u guys start selling on ebay since it already has a good logistics asset and can ship basically anywhere around the world?

No, but yes. You can use the USB port directly, but if you damage that one, you just lost a port on the motherboard. While if you use a USB-C expansion card, you just damaged that card only.
All this is useless until it arrives at the masmarket in parts at the market price. So say that big companies and naive people paid to improve their egos. So that you are not like everyone else. 😂😂😂

That views to likes ratio speaks for itself!
technically, if it helps, you can just leave out the cover entirely. the laptop isnt waterproof anyway, and one side is covered by the chassis
can you plug in expension card into USB-C expension card ?
How would it be better than a 10-in-1 usb hub?
What about desktops ?
How about fitting SD card diagonally?
The reader itself is to thick. It is a problem of height. So it would only get worse if you tilt it
It's dongles that ppl actually like :D
yet still it's one USB-C slot. well done
idea:if an port is too wide for the expantion card try to put it an an angle
is it uhs2
