I'm interested in Framework's new laptop with an upgradable GPU. That's one my biggest gripes with gaming laptops, GPUs can be outdated pretty fast compared to the rest of the system. I know it has been tried by other companies before, but upgrading is Framework's entire business model so it has a better chance of succeeding then a one-off laptop by a different company.
I love framework’s ideology and their execution seems on point. I preordered a 16 and I’m super excited about it (even though it’s pretty pricey compared to other gaming laptops).
Oh for sure, there's a premium you're paying. And (hopefully) you'll end up saving money by delaying another laptop purchase by doing an upgrade instead. Or at the very least break even and just be a bit more environmentally friendly.
