Framework Previews 16-inch Laptop With Upgradeable Graphics, Adds Ryzen Mainboards

At an event in San Francisco today, Framework significantly expanded its repairable laptop lineup, updating existing Framework laptops to 13th Gen Core Intel and AMD Ryzen with 7040-series chips. We previewed a new 16-inch laptop with added options and modular dedicated graphics.

The Framework Laptop 16 was only previewed at the event, but it got the most attention with far more customization options and repairable features than existing 13-inch laptops. Besides the existing expansion cards, there are two new systems used by the Framework. They are “input modules” and “expansion bays” (all of these expansion systems can quickly become very confusing!). For me, the expansion bay is the most exciting update. This is Framework’s attempt to add upgradeable graphics to laptops. (Framework says this is fulfilling a dream many gave up. This feels like an attack on Dell, which was sued over the Alienware Area-51m’s limited upgradeability.) available).
