This looks like a very cool laptop! What material is it made out of?

Do you have information about how the pci-e lanes are routed? I’m wondering because it would be interesting to see how EGPUs perform with this laptop.

Do you have plans to release different types of key caps ( such as U-shaped keys? )

The housing is made of 50% post-consumer recycled aluminum. The plastic parts are on average 30% post-consumer recycled plastic.

There's some more information about the PCI-e lanes here: https://community.frame.work/t/iommu-groups-for-thunderbolt-...

We don't currently have plans for other keycap geometries, but we do have a range of different languages in progress.

Thank you. Good to see some of the parts are recycled components too.
