The framework laptop project is known for its many hacker friendly aspects. For example, they encourage you to reuse your motherboard as a single board computer, making it a viable option for your own x86 project. They released a set of CAD files for this purpose. Since then, people have been developing their own products based on the framework motherboard; Our hacker [filament] has built some projects around these motherboards. Today, he showed us a high-strength design, that is, frametablet – a 15 inch device equipped with i5 processor, all of which use a full 3D printer box. The coolest part is – thanks to his guidance, you can build one yourself!
This tablet computer adopts full HD touch screen IPS display screen, and shows some well thought out component installation. The use of thermal fixing plug-ins and screws increases the mechanical life of such products. An expansion card slot is missing on the usb-c connected display, but this is a worthwhile compromise, and the touch screen function plays a magical role in windows. [whatthefilame] also released a desk stand and a wall mounted stand to match this design – if it is too large for you to hold in some cases, you can install it in a more friendly and hands-free way. This is a rugged and practical tablet computer. Unlike the raspberry PI tablet computer we saw, its x86 heart is powerful and can allow you to perform CAD and other operations during the journey.
With the available STL and steps, when you want to replace the motherboard of the framework with a new and upgraded motherboard, its construction is a good choice. You may have noticed some high-intensity projects using these motherboards on our page – perhaps transparent shell handheld devices with mechanical keyboards and trackballs, or personal terminals with future style circular displays. This project is part of the plan of “sending 100 motherboards to hackers” organized by the framework a few months ago. We cannot say that it has no effect on them!
