Honestly, as somebody who has been waiting on a Framework 16 to ship for almost 8 months now, this is kind of enticing. Same CPU, guaranteed Linux compatibility, and half the price. HRMMMMMMMM…
Charging over USB-C a thing? A little annoyed by the barrel connector. For all the faults of my Dell XPS at least I can use my own cable+charger and I have the flexibility of charging from either side.
If you check the specs it does say under Other: “USB-C charging”
As far as I can see it does support usb C charging. At least that is implied - when you go to the store page you can select an optional usb-C charging plug+cable.
No touchscreen/pen support?
Sadly hard to find on Linux pcs. I remember seeing it on ad manufacturer, they sell a pressure sensing pen. I don’t recall which one.
