Do you think Framework will ever make a Handheld PC console?


With companies like GDP being pioneer and Valve successfully launched their Steam Deck, and Asus about to release the Ally soon, do you think more laptop brands will jump on the bandwagon?

I would love Framework to make one

I wouldn't count on it. It seems like their bread-and-butter is the module system, which doesn't seem like a good fit for the handheld market. The Deck is fairly consumer-friendly as-is anyways, it's not like they can disrupt the market by offering replacement parts or letting you upgrade the hard drive.
