Framework, a small laptop maker focused on repairability, released a new upgradable graphics module late last month. It includes the Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, fits in all existing Framework 16 laptops, and can be installed with a single screwdriver. So we knew that was something we wanted to do.”Framework’s Swappable Graphics ModuleUpgrading laptop graphics isn’t entirely new. Framework previously shipped the Framework 16 with an 180-W power adapter, which was already more capable than most (USB-C laptop adapters are typically 65 to 100 W). “For the first generation of Framework Laptop 16, the silicon didn’t exist for us to be able to create the [240-W] power adapter yet,” he says.
