The box actually did: I incorporated the entire GPU laptop in just three minutes

I can confirm today that the system actually acts. I traveled to San Francisco Framework Offices to be the first journalist to upgrade the entire graphic Laptop graphics card, with my own hands, In just three minutes – Including the time it was meant to restart. I ranked the AMD RADEON RKS 7700S video card from the machine and connected a brand new mobile Nvidia RTKS 5070, with only six screws and using a pen-shaped screwdriver that is included in the machine.

And because it’s a vision of belief, I recorded the whole thing to show you how fast and easily it was. (Hey Veteran PC builders: this seems easier than MXM ModulesIsn’t it?)

I couldn’t test everything I’d like to test in the frame offices. We could not start the reference measure, just the basic samples of the game to show that the card was working. (NVIDIA Card Framework requirements should be upgrading from 30 to 40 percent through existing AMD; the games have launched and no obvious questions at 1440p and high settings seemed to be.)

Also, I couldn’t upgrade quite from zero. I actually retired My original framework Framework transmission 16 In San Francisco to see if I could turn around that One in the new Nvidia Laptop, but General Manager Nirav Patel told me that we would need software updates, including at least one new version of the BIOS, which was not yet completely ready. So, while I did myself, the laptop I upgraded was the one that the frame prepared to replace the GPU.

While I was there, I need to try the framework New standards-compatible 240V USB-C PD 3.1 ChargerOne of the first on the market, letting a laptop 16 (first 240V PD 3.1 laptop!) Finally plays and fills at full speed. I brought a power meter and video frame laptops 16 Drag over 220V, while testing tests on stress, filling the battery and charging a pair of phones used in the laptop at the same time. When I returned 15. Or so a minute later, the new power adapter was just warm, not hot – pleasantly pick up and hold it. I will have a video next week.

At $ 699 for only 100V, 8GB Mobile RTX 5070 worth performance, it could be a niche technology for now. (GPU and other gear is Up to redirectDelivery in December, if you are part of that niche.) But the framework has proven the point, and I hope it will upgrade it for a long time since it keeps Nis.
