I’d prefer a non-touchscreen. Touchscreen does add about 200g of weight. Is that likely to be an option?

This is an in-cell touchscreen and we didn't add cover glass. That means there is no weight impact to having it.

The touchscreen is backward-compatible with the old/regular FW13, so I imagine the regular FW13 screen is forward-compatible with the Pro. (Of course, I don't know if they'll sell that configuration or if you'd have to cobble it together from the marketplace.)

200g is weight of a smartphone, there's no way touch weighs that much.

Framework 13 Pro screen seems to have plastic surface as before, not glass-laminated (which I guess could add 200g, but it's not a requirement for laptop touchscreen)

Exactly. Why would I touch my screen? My hands are on the keyboard, I'm not lifting them.
