Framework Introduces Laptop 16 – Modular Laptop with Graphics Card and Parts Swap
Framework introduced the Laptop 16, a high-performance laptop with the ability to install modular components and replace any internal parts.
The device is equipped with a 16-inch display and an extended number of slots for installing modules, up to three cards per side. An Expansion Bay is available at the bottom of the laptop, which can accommodate additional storage or a modular GPU.
Framework Laptop 16 will be the manufacturer’s first gaming and multimedia model. A larger computer case means plenty of room to install discrete graphics. The modular system includes a PCIe x8 connection, which means that instead of a discrete graphics card, you can choose an M.2 drive, card reader, video capture device, or any other component. You can even make the module yourself – the manufacturer’s website has files for printing on a 3D printer.
The cost and detailed characteristics of the novelty have not yet been reported, however, pre-sales will begin in the spring, and official sales – at the end of the year.
