The more impressive thing is that they managed to get the Nvidia upgrade to be backwards compatible with existing Framework 16 models.

That's the push I need to really, truly believe they're committed to the goal of upgradablity. Too many "modular" products have come out where the "upgraded" modules were only available if you bought the newest version of the base product.

In the next year or so, I'll probably be buying a new laptop, and this has convinced me that Framework is probably the way to go.

i’ve had a framework 13 from a time before there was any other type of framework, and it’s a great laptop honestly. ive yet to do big upgrades, but just being able to repair it myself is awesome. one time i dented the chassis around where the power button was. no worries, just changed the input cover and bam 5 minutes later it’s like new.

my only complaint is that the battery life is atrocious. i heard it’s better (but still not great) on newer models tho

I have a newer gen 13 and yeah battery life is mediocre. I love literally everything else about it though so it’s ok.

I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t near an outlet though tbh.

I've got an HX 370 one and aside the battery, the only other complaint is the screen, max brightness isn't much and I miss my previous laptop's touch screen
