Modular Laptop Ditches One-Size-Fits-All Mold With Swappable Keyboards & Ports
If you’ve struggled with finding the perfect laptop that meets all your requirements, you’re not alone. Framework, a computer hardware company, has developed an innovative solution: a modular notebook that can be customized to fit your needs.
One of the standout attributes of the Framework 16 is its interchangeable parts. You can switch out keyboards, number keypads, and other components to better suit your preferences. And if you’re feeling a little nostalgic, you can add a module that “plays” Pong. What it actually is is just a lighting system that pings a ball back and forth, but it will no doubt bring back memories for anyone who grew up in the ’80s or ’90s.
Another exciting feature is the ability to move around USB, HDMI, charging, and headphone jack ports to whichever side of the notebook you want them to be on. This allows you to work more comfortably without worrying about where your cables will get in the way.
Framework also targets gamers with its removable GPU unit, which can be swapped out for a higher storage capacity. This allows gamers to upgrade their laptops without purchasing a new device, saving money and resources.
Owners of previous Framework devices can transfer their batteries to their new devices, which helps minimize waste and promote sustainability.
Overall, the modular laptop is a game-changer for anyone who wants a computer that steps out of the one-size-fits-all mold.
Preorders start in the spring, and shipping will commence in late 2023.
