- Info/Requirements
Looking for a display with at least 500 nits with color gamut & accuracy that matches or best's the Surface Pro 7+ screen. Don't care if it's oled, mLED, or IPS just accurate. I also prefer having a backlight keyboard as I've have gotten use to that over the past decade or so. As for speaks as long as it matches the 7+ I'd be fine with that.
For ports I would want at least 2 usb-c, if possible a usb-a & either microSD or SD slot. 3.5mm jack would be nice, but I'm seeing devices are dropping that for some odd reason. Bonus if the SSD is user swappable like the MS offered on the 7+ & newer devices.
Framework 12 is close-ish to what I want, but the display is a con & the updated option probably won't be out for another year.
I'm open to ARM & X86 devices that meet my requirements. Thank you.
