- updated Battery Design with (up to) 20h Battery life
- custom designed Display Panel with Touch support (keeping the 3:2 aspect ratio)
- LPCAMM2 for upgradable/replacable RAM without compromising on Speed/Low Power of LPDDR5X
- milled Aluminium Unibody chassis
- Full Linux support right from the start (including Firmware update via LVFS, Fingerprint Reader, etc.)
- Haptic Touchpad
- and all the repairability features Framework is known for

I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:
- HP Elitebook X g1a
- the new Dell XPS 14
- Asus Expertbook PM5 G2
or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me. But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!
All the CEO needed to say after funding that fascist was:
Oops, sorry. I didn't check out that developer's history before funding his project. It won't happen again. I promise going forwards that we'll google people's names first before sending them any money.
They didn't have to make a big deal about it, even a simple quickly forgotten post on their personal social media account would have been enough.
People still ask him about it, and he'll talk about anything else.
But he won't give a simple apology.
His silence is deafening.
Better to just go for the EU version of framework without the fascism: https://novacustom.com/
Edit: Changed "All the CEO had to say" to "All the CEO needed to say" to avoid confusion.
Thanks for the heads up, I was trying to find if they're still facist. I always felt bad seeing how much promotion framework laptops get after their lukewarm response, and now I can recommend an alternative.
Novacustom uses rebranded Clevos, just like TUXEDO.

You misunderstood the first sentence in my comment.
I've edited the word had to needed to make it more clear.
