The Framework Laptop series offers a unique approach to laptops with its modular, repairable, and upgradeable design. The latest model, the Framework Laptop 16, goes even further with a modular keyboard/input area and an expansion bay for high-speed accessories. Framework has released open-source 3D CAD files, allowing hardware hackers and developers to create custom accessories like cases and skins. The company has also caught up on its pre-order backlog, with the 16-inch laptop now in stock and shipping within 1-2 weeks. However, while the Framework Laptop 16 offers potential for hardware upgrades, reviews have noted issues with gaming performance, battery life, and noisy fans. With prices starting at $1399 for a DIY Edition, the laptop may not appeal to all consumers. Nevertheless, as with its smaller counterpart, the Framework Laptop 16 may improve over time with hardware upgrade options.
