It feels like this mobile chip has been hijacked for a bunch of mini desktops, a single ASUS tablet that you can’t use with a keyboard without a desk to stand it on, and a single HP laptop that (while actually the only real mobile computer) is priced insanely for even the low RAM variants.
What a waste.
> External adapters are a thing of the past. This is both hilarious and so perfect, because they're still external adaptors , they're frickin' USB-C dongles! They just fit them within the bounding box of the laptop. Such a simple, effective solution (if you're willing to sacrifice some volume)
I personally just cannot accept that there’s no WWAN option available. Tethering with your phone is just nowhere close to what one would expect out of it in 2025.
A WWAN modem surely would fit into the IO module form factor, no? The framework 16 got 6 slots. Seems like the way to go.

Framework purchasers != Linux users
I don't know a single person that bought a Framework and put Windows on it as the primary OS. I wish Framework would actually find out what their customers are using, maybe with a survey, because I'd be highly surprised if it was less than 2/3rds Linux (or other FOSS).

I'm one month into owning a GMKTec Evo-X2 with the new mad AMD gpu in it and so far I've managed to get Ollama running. ROCm doesn't officially support the GPU and everything seems to be hacky workaround on top of hacky workaround. Starting to wish I'd just waited for NVIDIA to actually release the project digits thing.
So, how did you get it running? I‘m about to get a Bosgame M5 (same CPU).
I've been trying for weeks to get ComfyUI to not explode without success.
Pricing is... steep. Almost $2500 before tax for a very mid-tier gaming laptop.
It’s not really a gaming laptop, it’s more like a workstation that happens to be decent at gaming. They’ve even mentioned in another video I watched that their fastest growing segment is business customers. Their systems have unique features and value proposition nobody else is offering so they can charge more than competitors. Let’s also not forget that the gaming market does have a high end segment that is definite…
But that also puts them out of the market of users where those unique features would be a selling point but are not required which is probably much bigger.
still no OLED
Is this really a valid complaint? From what I've read most pro users still prefer IPS over OLED.

It does not make sense to praise a company for selling defective products because some of the customers have the ability to repair the defect.
It's a massive step up from the status quo of companies selling defective products without customers having the ability to repair the defect.

Like it or not, Nvidia is the dominant player in the GPU space. They have objectively the most powerful GPUs and the best support for development (CUDA). It would be cutting out a massive chunk of Framework's potential customers to not even offer Nvidia GPUs. I don't like Nvidia at all, they're a scummy company. But just offering their products as an option is not "openly hostile and offensive" to Linux users. That's…
Not really. Until modern times, Intel was the largest GPU manufacture, unless you include phones, then it was Qualcomm. Now it's AMD, between computers, consoles, and the datacenter. DGPUs for the desktop aren't really all that relevant for either AMD and NV's bottom lines, they're not major sellers. Switch sales also aren't enough to compete with combined Xbox/Playstation sales. A lot of claims of NV's superiority i…
I'm happy to answer questions around the new product.
I'm very impressed you managed to get nvidia to give you access to the 5070! I have one queetion though, is the 5070 limited to 100W because of the docking connector, or for cooling reasons?
