Framework 16 REVIEW
Framework Laptop 16
Slapping parts together, Dave James takes this modular laptop with upgradable GPU for a spin.
T he Framework 16 is the laptop we’ve always wanted. Well, if you put the Framework 16’s GPU party piece into the Razer Blade 14, you’ve got the laptop we’ve always wanted, but this is a vital step down that path. And without Framework, there’s no chance of getting there; it’s also incredible this innovative machine works so well even in this first generation.
