    Too busy at the moment to add my own text, but here's what the YouTube description says:

    The Framework Laptop 13 Pro is a ground-up redesign of Framework Laptop 13, built from seven generations of iteration and feedback. It features 20 hours of battery life and a 74Wh battery, Intel® Core™ Ultra ​Series 3 Processors​, and LPCAMM2 modular LPDDR5x memory. We also introduced a custom 13.5” high-resolution touchscreen display, an improved haptic touchpad, and a new CNC aluminum chassis.

    Framework Laptop 13 Pro was designed for Linux from the start, with broad distro support, upstream contributions, and for the first time, Ubuntu certified pre-built configurations.

    This is tempting with the new specs and the LPCAMM2 Memory Modules.

    I have never heard of that memory form factor before. Does anyone here have experience with LPCAMM2? Can I expect this to be a widely adopted standard?

    I'm surprised to see micron is the manufacturer of this. Didn't they say they were trying to get out of the consumer memory space? How will this affect memory pricing with the AI boom going on?

      Micron isn't selling to consumers. They sell to framework and framework validates and sells ram. This is no different from buying ram in a dell from micron.

        Right, but maybe I misunderstood, I had thought they were attempting to exit the consumer memory SPACE, which had encompassed (from my understanding) providing memory for consumer hardware.

        E.g., dell computers, etc.

          I believe they were just sunsetting their own consumer brand, crucial. They still sell memory chips to dell, framework, etc. You will even still be able to buy memory sticks with micron modules....
