Framework announces Laptop 16 — and promises “holy grail” of upgradable graphics
Today outside the 2023 Game Developers Conference, it’s announcing and previewing 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!”that he’s serious.
One option is a thermal module that’s “actually just two fans that cool the system,” says Patel, but you can replace it with a larger graphics module that’s thicker and deeper than you could ever fit inside the chassis. Framework designed its own new high-power bidirectional PCI-Express interface for the module, says Patel, one with enough throughput to support, say, a module with a pair of SSDs instead of a GPU. The modules can even be used in an external enclosure, say as an external GPU. The company’s hoping to attract third-party developers to build for the interface, too.
Weirdly, the company won’t say whether Nvidia and AMD are actually on board with the idea — which could be make-or-break — but Patel says a working graphics module will be on display at its event today, and I’ll add my impressions to this story if or when they let me touch the machine.
