    One thing to note is that with a modular system the price will always be higher until it can be subsidized. Likely not this much higher, this is due to them being relatively new tech, manufacturing, and supply and demand. However, most laptop manufacturers are selling you computers knowing they will fail in whatever number of years their testing has shown and that you'll have to buy a whole new laptop. Framework is going for a system where you could feasibly use the same system with different parts for decades. This means they can't rely on let's say once every 5 year 2-3k from you. You might spend 2k the first year and then only 100 over the next 10. You might not really upgrade at all and just fix what's broken. So in general price goes up if less purchases are possible or likely. You get the one big purchase or you get many tiny purchases. In this case their mission statement is that this big investment is a one time thing and then you're in the ecosystem. The price will likely go down over time with better components as first adopters get their systems but it's important to note that the price we're used to is a price that relies on us trashing our old rigs and buying a whole new one every time enough stops working. These companies do not maintain support for laptops past a certain number of years not even selling parts after their support has run out. Framework with this concept would be able to support older laptops and give them the nudges needed to keep up albeit not the fastest rig.
    This is a systemic shift and we have to be okay with yes our costs went up some but we have more freedom and can actually service our computer ourself. We don't need to buy a warranty so Dell will choose to service our computer or Apple Care will fix a problem that's $5 for a monthly fee. We don't have to throw away a perfectly good system because the RAM is sauttered on and one stick died. We don't have to fund Windows a new installation fee every time a component failure causes us to upgrade. The tech needs time to develop but that freedom of choice and device is something incredibly rare in today's day and age and something we desperately need back.
    The fact it's gaming performance is as good as it is has me floored. I just need the screen to get better and potentially speaker modules for good sound quality and I'd be sold. That being said rooting for them and this systemic change to be a hit to the point major producers in the space today start to have to adapt. We've already seen companies add back previously removed modularity.

    I'm fine with the CPU choice, Phoenix was bleeding edge when they announced the product. The Hawk Point 8040 is essentially the same CPU , just with a faster NPU. CPU cores and the GPU are identical to 7040. There's nothing using the NPU apart from some Windows background camera blur effects at the moment.
    Framework have said they'll skip this gen, as there's no real world benefit, so the next upgrade will likely be Zen 5.

    I've got a preorder for the 16 - group 4. There was only one thought on my mind when I got it: "can I fix it *when* it breaks." I've spent so much on workstation laptop computers over the years - they all suffered from the same failure points. Very frustrating. So as long as the parts are available I think I will be very, very satisfied with this machine. And if I can upgrade down the line? Win. I know this is a very *niche* set of priorities, so YMMV.

    It's always the same concerns, the price and the company. It's very clear that they are a small company and no one else as done this before so they have to do the design, engineering and anything else on their own and that costs money. So of course the first laptops they launch will be more expensive than the competition, and they still offer good specs. It has been almost four years I think since the FW13, they have fulfilled their promise so far and the vast majority of the customers have been satisfied, so I wouldn't be worried.
    People I buying this for modularity, upgradability and reparability, not because it has the best build and quality materials. If it's too expensive right now lets just wait a bit for it to be more affordable.

      Also when enough starts to adapt into Framework and people start to want to upgrade, then it should be cheaper for those who doesn't have much to upgrade, as you could probably get a better used component than the one you have, as someone might have upgraded to the newest component.

    • @kylereis7854
      @kylereis7854 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +48

      I did the math and only 16.4" would be possible while still having enough of a bezel to be able to screw the screen in. If they glued the screen on (which is against their mission) they could potentially achieve 16.7".
      However Framework is limited by the displays already being produced. Getting a completely custom 16.3" display would be really expensive so they went with a slightly tweaked (slightly tweaked is a lot cheaper than completely custom) variant of the second largest panel already being produced that could be fit.
      The reason they went with the 2nd largest panel they could is because the largest panel already being produced that would fit is much lower refresh rate (60 Hz instead of 165 Hz), lower brightness (330 cd/m² vs 500 cd/m²), and reduced color space (74% DCI-P3 vs 100%). So they choose to use a 2.6% smaller panel that they could've in order to get much better other specs.
      It's possible my math was off, tomorrow when my FW16 is supposed to arrive I'll take measurements of the actual area available for the screen and if it can fit a larger screen than I calculated I'll update this comment.

      On the Framework forums there have been several discussions about this. Framework's CEO suggested that either five 18650 cells or four 21700 cells could potentially be an option.
      Five 18650 cells would fit within the same form factor as the existing GPU module. The largest 18650 cells are slightly over 12 Wh so five calculates to an impressive 60 Wh!
      Four 21700 cells would require a slightly larger enclosure but the largest 21700 cells pack slightly over 20 Wh each so four calculates to 80 Wh!
      So 60-80 Wh of capacity could potentially be added through the expansion bay. Nothing has been officially announced by Framework, but given the amount of discussion that has occurred on the Framework forums (including by Framework's CEO) I think it is very likely that either Framework will make one or at the very least some community members will (it sounds like some people are already working on it).

    Sorry, I just don't see a few perfectly sensible trade-offs as negatives. This is the same argument as the decades-old US versus foreign built cars. Japanese and European cars had this false perception of superior build quality when in reality, car culture controlled the market. US manufacturers had to design their cars to be maintained and fixed by average owners using standard store-bought tools or they just weren't going to sell. A half-inch bezel or a bit of keyboard flex is not bad build quality; it's just part and parcel of a laptop you can build and fix yourself.

    Compliments to Frameworks for changing settings for the keyboard in the firmware! This is a great thing, being able to consistently change it no matter what OS the person uses and not having software overhead for that. One little point of criticism: I would like to have the touchpad on the right or left side, not in front of the keyboard, that way it doesn't get in the way and touchpads really don't need to be this big, just increase the mouse sensitivity and 20% of that size is plenty. Having said that, I woiuld not change the depth of the laptop (distance from the front to the monitor) because then the monitor gets uncomfortably close, I am ok with some 'dead space' for ergonomics.

    Big fan of this channel, love all the content you all are posting. This Framework 16 laptop is on my short list for a new laptop. My HP Envy is 8 years and definitley wants to retire.
    This Framework 16 is (was?) even my first number of choice, for the main reason that I also support the chance to upgrade parts instead of having to buy a new laptop. But just as you calculated, my configuration would be €3.000+ and that is a lot of money. And that for general use and photo and video editing. So I do keep other laptops in consideration.
    One thing I can't get any/much information is of, is the huge bezel on the display. Why is it that big? Has it a purpose? In 2024 it gives the Framework 16 a rather old fashioned look.

    My advice if you would consider buying Framework: buy the 'DIY'-version, it costs $300 less and you can assemble it within 10 minutes. It also comes without Windows which I consider an advantage (not paying for Windows is great because I don't use it, also not unnessecary writes on the SSD so nice though the impact is small).

But as a concept, they have achieved what they set out to achieve. An upgradable modular laptop! Hopefully, the trend will pick up and more players enter the market. Size to power, cost to power ratio and general utility of modules is missing/lacking, and hopefully, we reach there soon.

    what's amazing about the framework laptops are that the motherboard in itself is essentially a single board computer. there's already a community of builders using the older motherboards as a powerful SBC or a small desktop. the reason big companies failed with modular laptops is that 1. they were afraid to hamstring their other lineups and 2. it was often proprietary and therefore solely or mainly depended on first party modules. all framework components are either existing industry standards, and if such thing doesn't exist (like the expansion bay), they publish the design. this is a very smart strategy; they don't have to support everything, rather they can invite individuals or even other companies to offload some of that burden. it's replicating the IBM compatible desktop market. and the motherboard being modular and having many usb-c ports means that it has a resale value on its own. as it's already quite powerful while being (relatively) low power it will hold onto its value for quite some time.

      Refine yes, slimming it down is unlikely. The size is the screen size plus the required bezel. And since they're not going to do bezeless because they're not swappable that's pretty much it there. As for the height, it's a similar situation. The business model isn't the mainstream trend of slimming and swapping for less functionality and less repairability. If you want a smaller laptop get a 13.

    Last for extended lifetime? The expansion bay shell with the connectors on it, and the expansion cards, also connect to the rest of the machine. Framework is going to assure their internal connections to these modules are going to be compatible with any future changes to NVME, USB, video, or Ethernet? I have doubts. For example, I have seen docking stations 5 years old that no longer are compatible with current tech because of changes to that tech. I just don’t see how framework can assure this ongoing compatibility given the frequency of changes to these various interfaces over time.

    • @thefelix7767
      @thefelix7767 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This is a ridiculous critique. The connector is just an electrical interface that sports 74 pins capable of a bit over 10 amps at 20V which interfaces between a user facing port and the PCIe in the motherboard. Currently it supports more than PCIe 4.0 at 8 lanes. If in the future components change and need more than that, then you just update the specs with more electrical capacity over the same interface, or hell, if it comes to that, even a different one which could still keep backwards compatibility to allow you to swap in older expansion bays. We've done that for decades with USB, and recently we even have Thunderbolt, several different USB specs, HDMI, and other stuff over the same type C interface. This isn't new science nor engineering. It's a goddamn $19 part in the marketplace with the purpose of exposing the PCIe interface to the outside with something that can withstand users connecting and disconnecting stuff with some relative frequency. That's all.
      You're literally hitting on the strong point of the Framework as if it was a weakness and pretending it's the same as companies using proprietary connectors with no financial incentive to keep supporting them. This isn't like that, this is an open interface to an open standard, PCIe. If in the future we have components with bandwidth beyond the capabilities of the current interposer, and you want to connect your new powerful expansion bay that uses that spec, just spend the $19 and buy the upgraded interposer that supports it, plug it in place of the current one, and you're good to go. That's the beauty of this ecosystem. Every single part is repairable, replaceable, and upgradeable, including the interposer.
      Now, the expansion cards. The USB-A interface is backwards compatible all the way back to 1996. The first laptop with USB-C came out in 2016. There's a long way to go for the type C interface, which will very likely be longer lived than USB-A because it was designed specifically for that. You could upgrade the internals, which is doable without changing the interface. That's how we have different USB specs using the same backwards compatible interface or even Thunderbolt which is a different spec and still uses that interface and keeps compatibility with the USB spec on top of that. I think you just don't understand what electrical interfaces are and how they work and think the interface is the entire spec or something? Let's still entertain your scenario as if it was like I'm understanding you think it is. Let's assume 40 years down the road we have completely and utterly abandoned USB-C and any sort of internal compatibility connection somehow. Then yes, when you upgrade the motherboard you'll need to buy 6 new cards at $10-20 each at current prices aside from the storage ones. That's the worst case scenario of this extremely unrealistic time frame of 40 years.

    I feel these machines are more of a novelty at this price and quality than a model for which the industry should strive for. Some of the comments saying, 'this isn't for normal people' confirms this. Basically laptop legos for DIY tech enthusiasts.
    I'm all for modularity, but it comes with hits to form factor and cost. Making something user upgradeable means the skill floor is a lot lower so you have to introduce things like magnets as seen here, daughter boards, and pogo pins. You could argue that it creates more waste given the extra amount of materials to make something modular.
    I think the true goal is in the middle with reparability. Something a skilled user or third-party technician can repair without special tools, but with minimal impacts to cost and form factor.

    improved the speakers
    improved the camera and mic,
    improved the screen lid structure to reduce flex
    improved the hinges to hold the screen up better.

They dont need to make everything replaceable to the extent of Framework's, but at least basic stuff. I know many laptops are this way, but they are becoming more rare, especially on the high end.

    Framework are a breath of fresh air, they're doing something completely different; and by doing so are challenging the norms of the laptop industry. I've worked in IT for nearly 30 years and have used every large manufactorers laptops pretty much throughout that time. I'm so bored with them, even Apple's MacBook.
    There is always going to be downsides, and no one product is going to be perfect. But in the age of challengers, such as Linux, Framework devices such as these allow me to buy what I can afford at the time, and then buy upgrades down the line.
    They also activley support development of the hardware components with the open source communuity and the ever growing Linux community. Whats not to like?
    What I really like, is the ability to fix/repair/replace parts and components myself. I'm so fedup of having to call a support number (Dell, Lenovo & HP I'm looking at you directly) waste time trying to convince someone that yes, there really is a problem, and no, I'm not just going to re-install the OS. Finally, I can just order the part that I know needs to be replaced.
    I really hope business small and large take advantage of Framework and go all in with them!
    Also, on the wifi side of things, this isn't just a Framework/AMD issue, there are a number of wifi adapters that don't have Windows support with the generic Windows installer. Just get a $30 USB-C Ethernet adapter or even one of those small USB-C hubs that have Ethernet and USB-A and HDMI, you'd be amazed how often you'll use it. Also, the joy of this is you can always just swap the wifi card out for whatever your own preference is!
    I was very suprised to see the thermal efficency of the review unit, thats got to be a really good thing, and I think it shows that Framework have some good plans for the future.
    OEMs should be scared/worried, especially Apple, who go out of their way to produce nothing but e-waste with all of their products.

    It will be interesting to see how that works out if the company becomes successful enough. Because it seems to me that there are a lot of potential options that could be created to work within this platform. The only limitations would be the physical ones, so for instance, you’re not gonna end up with more than six slide in module positions, the screen isn’t going to get significantly larger. But I would think that somebody could make a screen and bezel combination that could make the screen a little bit taller and give a thinner bezel eventually.

    i think framework may be a bit too modular . They need to cut down on things that don't matter much to an avg consumer.
    They can make the display non-modular to make thinner bezels and less lid flex.
    The keyboard deck too carving it out of one sheet of metal will definitely make it more sturdy. To compensate , give users two keyboard layout options , with and without numpad. No need for spacers .
    I wish we could add a battery back instead of the graphics module in case we need more battery. Old Lenovo laptops used to have this feature u could get upto 50wh !!.

      They really aren’t aiming for the “average consumer” with this laptop

      The back DOES allow for a battery module, they'll eventually ship it in most likelihood

      Modularity is kind of the point of the device. A non modular lid for less flex is pointless. It's purely cosmetic and sometimes makes it even more fragile and brittle.
      Also the bezels are down to the actual display panels that framework could find. These mindsets of gluing things down "for better specs" is kind of a toxic trend started by companies like apple, Samsung or Lenovo.

    Love the philosophy. I want to support it, just more than I’m willing to spend.

    Modular laptops like this are really interesting.

    The worst cruticism seems to be the price, and thats understandable. The 16 definitely is being marketed as upgradeable, not mainly just repairable. If it were me, id wait till the next gen 16 comes out then get the current one at a lower price, and also do the same as they upgrade the mainboards over the years. After 4 ir 5 years, theres a Zen 7 or whatever that comes out, upgrade to the Zen 6 board to save money. And perhaps Framework will become popular enough to get vetter bulk pricing
