@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!

@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!

• I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.

Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.

• I mean, I understand they won't make space for a underslung #Dock, a #Slimline - #ODD or god forbid #ExpressCard, and in terms of #tech I'd welcome #Thunderbolt over #OCuLink, but there's a reason I've not canceled the #NUCbook and if I didn't have to buy/procure #COTS products I'd likely just buy a #Pi500 with a #Powerbank and screen slapped on...

That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...

• I just wished #FrameworkLaptop and Fairphone were just refusing the #Enshittification trend entirely, cuz I'd rather have a #Toughbook-Style device made out of #Thinkpadnium or even better #Nokianite than some fancy Aluminium stuff if that makes it more #repairable, #upradeable and espechally doesn't result in a #Downgrade.

Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.

• The only reason I'm not daily driving my #P11Z anymore is because until I got @OS1337 into a useable state it's hardware, which was already #LowEnd at launch, can barely run @bunsenlabs and thus is not an option for #DailyDriving #Linux #Desktop workflows anyways...

I mean, come on... @frameworkcomputer engineers propably know where they can source some quality #Thinkpadnium or #Nokianite for some #CHONKER #Phone that survives me!

• Even if it end up #THICC AF if that's what it takes to be indestructible...

• Bonus points if it eats 18650 or 21700 #LiFePO4 cells so it won't blow up when shot at!

@lunareclipse But then again I'd not mind a dummy #thicc device if it's made out of #Nokianite and #Thinkpadnium, breaking floors instead of it's screen when it falls to the ground!

Like some chonky Iridium satellite phone!

@andytiedye @magicalgrrrl @Fairphone personally I'm so close to DIY'ing a smol & thicc smartphone running off #LiFePO4 18650 cells that only my #FP3plus running makes me hesitate.

You know, some brick of #Nokianite and #Thinkpadnium that - if thrown against a drywall - will penetrate it ar at least get stuck in it and be considered a throwing weapon in Germany.

@grossehalbuer Yeah.

#Nokianite [aka. #Nokium] is the strongest material on earth, even stronger than #Thinkpadnium.

It's said that Nokium nowadays is not being made because it required Russian PoW's to mine in Finnland.
The same mine is nowadays flooded and used as testing site for military drysuit diving equipment...
Or so the legend goes...
