Something to look forward to: One of the most significant drawbacks to owning a laptop is the lack of upgradability. Most allow memory or storage replacement, but getting a faster processor means buying a new laptop. Framework hopes to change the status quo with two modular offerings coming this year that will let users swap out CPUs, GPUs, and more.
The Framework laptop is designed to be easily upgradeable, from the RAM, the ports, faster Wi-Fi, or even replacing the motherboard without tossing the whole laptop. On paper, it sounds nifty, but in practice there are some concerns.
