Framework Laptop 16 (Gen 2)
The Framework Laptop 16 is the most upgradeable laptop I’ve ever used, and it’s not close. Six expansion card slots give you genuinely flexible I/O. The swappable GPU module is revolutionary for a laptop—nothing else on the market lets you upgrade your graphics without buying a whole new machine. The display is excellent. The keyboard is one of the best I’ve used on a laptop. The build process is more involved than Framework’s Desktop and takes real time, but nothing about it is difficult. Build quality is excellent, the design is solid, and you come away from the assembly understanding exactly how your machine works. That’s worth something. It is also, to be clear, not a portable machine in any meaningful sense. This is a desktop replacement that happens to fold shut.
