KartoffelstolzI do want to have an upgrade to my aging X230 laptop ready in the next couple of years, so
- I don't anticipate this fizzling out, added that I refuse to give up the TrackPoint and classic keyboard
- I do anticipate the timeline changing depending on my available free time
Here's the timeline on my mind:
Spring 2024: I get my hands on the Framework 16 laptop
Summer 2024: Make measurements, test out parts, start playing with CAD
Fall 2024: Start running test prints and fine tune parts
Winter 2024: Put everything together, final testing and fitting, take glamour shots, polish up the write-up, and publish everything
Mid-2025: Probable actual completion date. Good thing that Framework promises to release case-compatible mainboard updates so this won't immediately become irrelevant once I finish.

Wow! The author has ambition! I can't wait to see how far this has come by Winter 2024!
Seriously, I do still think about this project at least once every 3 days. I just have yet to find the energy to sit down in front of KiCad for a couple of hours at a time to churn out the first components.
