    I want a convertible Framework device with a detachable keyboard so bad.

    I don’t need another laptop, but a modular standalone tablet-ish screen with an optional typing surface and shipping Linux as an option? I’d be so there, especially if paired with upcoming ARM SoCs.

    Does that mean that another firm could create an alternative chassis that takes Framework parts?

      I don’t read it as that. They say it’s to enable accessories etc. I think the cad is of the external shell only:
