With that said, it doesn't stop someone to create a keyboard with smaller height to fit in the bottom part.

They’ll patent the swappable gpu method and then you’ll wonder why companies refuse to waste time making swappable gpus in laptops

I think they got the right way of development. As other companies had tried to cope with their ideas, they made a step ahead. GPU module is a great thing, but I am impressed by hot swappable input interfaces: changing configuration is a (great) thing, but potentially swap different devices (like a pen tablet surface, as an example) on the fly without restarting has more potential too. Honestly, I do not really need a laptop now, but I think that when this will available in Italy I will yield to the temptation and I'll buy it.

This makes me feel like my 9 year old self again when I got my first computer and I was in so excited to use it and learn more about it.

Looking at ebay and availability of all the parts I need to rebuild my current thinkpad, I think Lenovo is a ahead of them in this regard. :D I mean, they supply full fucking system data sheet and repair manuals with thinkpads and at least my gaming laptop which is an ideapad. The system isn't opensource, but uhm. I'm not sure what all the fuzz is about here when literally how Lenovo is doing this with ThinkPads is the most economically viable way to sell to both technologically proficient users and customers operating large fleets that have no interest in fixing the system themselves but want a new one as fast as possible and the old one going back for a refurb for a discount in the on-site delivery guarantee of the failed system... I do understand the point of open sourcing these things. But, then again you can literally flash a core boot firmware into an ever growing number of both intel an amd Lenovo ThinkPads. Lenovo supporting the open source UEFI firmware thing as well. And gives good Linux support with ThinkPads already. I think Framework maybe over engineering this and are going to sink not swim.

I was going to make a joke about it ACTUALLY being a game changer. Playing a FPS? throw out the numpad and just use the keyboard, playing a flight sim or something similar that has a lot of controls? pop in the numpad. You might actually be changing the keyboard around when you change games. Then I wondered something. Could they make a fighting controller thing? Playing Street fighter or similar game? Take off the whole keyboard and plop on a fighting controller with the buttons and a joystick (screwable, so you could detach it, leave the rest of the module and close down the laptop and take them with you. It might be something that's too niche for Framework as a company to do, but I could easily see the community coming up with it. Hell speaking of the flight sim I mentioned before, can you imagine people making a whole cockpit module with this thing? With slides and buttons and knobs. Obviously there is not a lot of space to do these things while still being able to close the lid, but again I could see the community coming out with a special case that gives you more depth where the "keys" are. Yeah, the laptop would get bulky, but it's modular so who the hell cares, when you decide you want to chill out and no longer play flight sim every day just put it back in a normal case and use it as a regular laptop. The options for this are just crazy.

And when I think I want to, wether this year or the next, I upgrade it to be able to play some heavier games on.

Any influencer that has incentments when reviewing an item should be taken with a pinch of salt; wait for an independent review or at least get a few user reviews from trusted independent websites.

This kind of tech not being some one-off prototype shown at CES never to be seen again and INSTEAD being a prototype of a product being rolled out later this year is INSANE. I honestly can't believe Framework has been making this happen, feels like a fever dream.

I wish there was like a tablet or two in one with that kind of upgradability and modularity, but I guess things get to compact at that size for upgradability to be possible. Still something like a surface pro, but modular and upgradable would be awesome.

I love that one of the sponsor spots was for a laptop dock when the feature of the video makes it potentially redundant 😂
