Looks like this is the official site: https://frame.work/
"Framework Laptop starts at $999. DIY Edition configurable from $749." - that's for the base model.
Unfortunately I didn't see the display specifications while configuring the product. That is a major factor when making a decision for me.
From NotebookCheck: «13.50 inch 3:2, 2256 x 1504 pixel 201 PPI, BOE CQ NE135FBM-N41, IPS, BOE095F, glossy: yes, 60 Hz»; «Framework uses the exact same ... as found on the Acer Swift 3 SF313. ... wide color coverage and relatively high contrast ratio. Response times are slow».
The issue is: being this "option" (without a clear alternative?) glossy instead of matte, the display also will require being a module as part of the modular framework.
Considering that some will simply refuse to work on a glossy display (and I guess such "some" largely overlaps with their intended potential market), and that the whole purpose of the product is modularity, they will have to realize that they currently are losing an important slice of market - they are severely slashing their base.
Yeah it's one reason I like ThinkPads. They do great matte displays, even with touch functionality! I've never seen others do that combo. Not that I really care about touch but it's usually quoted as the reason for glossy displays these days
