This is fantastic. All the specs are fantastic.

I think 2560p is a sweet spot, as 4K is just too hard to drive, and (to my eyes) its usable with minimal scaling.

My biggest concern with the framework 16 is cooling. The modular GPU inevitably excludes the huge, integrated heatsink designs something like a G15 would use.

Personally I disagree about the resolution being a sweet spot, in my opinion it's almost the worst resolution imaginable for this size. The pixels are just slightly too small to the point where it becomes annoying and uncomfortable (for most people) to use it at 100% scaling, 200% scaling is out of the question as everything would be massive and you'd only get some 720p equivalent worth of real estate, and fractional scaling is generally subpar and not worth using in many cases. I think both 4k and 1080p are better options for a 15-16" screen.

Same, have a 13 and cooling is an issue. It may be because I upgraded from an older case, don't know.
