If you obtain the unique Framework Laptop and wished to improve its motherboard to the brand new model so you may profit from the additional efficiency of a Twelfth-generation Core CPU, the corporate does not need you to throw your outdated motherboard out. To that finish, Framework designed and launched an open supply design for a 3D-printable motherboard case, making it simple to repurpose an outdated Framework motherboard as a makeshift mini desktop PC.

But Lenovo has taken subject with this case design, based on a authorized grievance shared by way of Framework’s Twitter account yesterday. At subject is the design of the case’s energy button, pictured above, which appears like a circle or letter “O” segmented into three components by straight traces. Lenovo’s authorized crew thinks that circle appears just like the stylized “O” in Lenovo’s Legion model emblem. And they’ve a degree, even when we do not suppose it’s totally doubtless that individuals would combine up a gaming laptop computer from a significant PC producer and an affordable 3D-printed plastic case for a distinct segment laptop computer motherboard.

Fortunately for Framework, the “damaged O” that Lenovo is upset about does not seem wherever on the Framework Laptop—it makes use of the corporate’s normal gear-shaped emblem on its lid and keyboard, so Framework will not have to make expensive modifications or dump any parts it has already spent cash on.

To make the issue go away, Framework is holding a design contest for a brand new energy button design. Company CEO Nirav Patel will select his favourite design so it may be included into a brand new case and posted to GitHub. The contest winner will obtain the Core i5-1135G7 model of the first-gen Framework Laptop motherboard—simply be sure that the button design you submit does not appear like an apple with a chunk out of it, an alien head, or three snakes tied collectively.
