They even said they had beefed up their servers to meet demand. I guess they need to add even more servers.

Clearly they need repairable and upgradeable servers.

Oh there we go, modular GPU add in boards. Heyoooo!

And they support other stuff!

I wish the framework site was up, as I want to see what this specification looks like. If you look inside an Asus Zephyrus or whatever, the cooling setup needed to support such a thing in a thin laptop is mad. The 13", for instance, has a pancake sized 2D headspreader + liquid metal TIM, which very much goes against repairability. The 16" is a wall of heatpipes. I wonder how framework is addressing this.

EDIT: specification is here, but down at this moment: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionBay

Quick summary for those couldn't watch the livestream/load the website.

- New Framework laptops are available using Intel 13th Gen and AMD 7040 series.

- New 61Wh battery, new matte display option & a Cooler Master mainboard case for $39.

- New 16 inch Framework laptop. Allows you to have a number pad or not, up to you and customizable. If I understood the livestream correctly, there are upgradable dedicated GPUs that connect to the 16 inch laptop.

Just put up a page with specs, no videos are needed. I have a framework laptop already which has been great, maybe one day there will be other laptops with no fan that are powerful like an apple arm.

Wow that's the fastest I've ever seen a site go down. Site was vaporized as soon as the announcement was made.

I'm still happy with my 11th gen framework. Anybody who's looking into upgrading please consider re-using your mainboard. They have 3D printing schematics you can use to turn it into a mini desktop PC!: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Mainboard
