Framework has updated its Laptop 16 to support an upgrade to the Nvidia RTX 5070 graphics card, showcasing its commitment to modular, sustainable laptops that can be upgraded over time, with a significant performance boost and a new power adapter, at a higher price point.
Framework, the only company with a track record of delivering a fully upgradable laptop, has announced the Framework Laptop 16, its second laptop platform ever, with the claim that it’s “delivering on the holy grail for gamers, creators and others who need power, with modular upgradable graphics!” The laptop features a new Expansion Bay system that allows for a piece of the laptop’s rear to slide out and be replaced with as large a module as the module developer needs, including a thermal module or a larger graphics module. The Framework Laptop 16 also boasts six card slots and a new Input Module system that lets you hotswap out the entire keyboard and touchpad. The company is hoping to attract third-party developers to build for the interface.
