Framework Laptop Community

I dunno, I'd love a case that was strong to prevent lcd and port damage. I've lost more fucking laptops to small pieces of plastic like the power plug connector snapping around the port than anything else and I try to take really good care of my shit. Sure a damaged port can be repaired, but the fascia support the plug etc., it'll never be as strong / reliable as it was and eventually probably fail again. Asus, Gigabyte i7s. A truly strong machined aluminum for would make a great generic footprint/plan for board makers, just transfer your old daily driver into it's new toughbox. expensive but reusable.

yeah I'm already in cyberdeck territory shit

but replaceable hinge mechanisms, configurable port setups, weather proofing, lots of neat shit you could do with an aluminum clamshell
