Is my understanding correct that there are no @framework laptops in 16x9 (or 16x10) aspect ratios available right now? eg the pre-order for next quarter delivery is the only option?

It is moderately likely I will need a laptop before that time window and dont want to miss the opportunity to get a framework (but the 3:2* aspect ratio… isn’t for me).

*[edited aspect ratio to correct one]

    Always wondered about this. Why do you like it? All computers were like this way back when so it can’t be too bad but why do you orefer it?

      I mostly work in fullscreen windows and the 3:2 aspect ratio allows me to have more code/text on my screen at once, while keeping the laptops size small.

      Generally, readibility is better when you have a larger vertical aspect the aspect ratio. Especially in the age where many sites are designed with verticality in mind due to the prevalence of mobile.

      16:9 is good for media consumption and games, but its not ideal for general web browsing and reading.
