The review embargo for the Framework Laptop 16 has been lifted, and it’s receiving praise for its innovative and upgradeable design. The laptop offers extensive customizability options, including a Radeon RX 7700S graphics module and a larger keyboard/touchpad. It boasts the AMD Ryzen 7040HS processor, which offers improved performance compared to its predecessor. Framework has been consistently delivering on its promises with each new iteration of their laptops, making their upgradeable products more exciting and driving greater interest. The Framework Laptop 16 also has nice Linux support and maintains the open-source design files, making it an appealing option for users. It is slightly heavier and may break the sleek design when using certain I/O ports. The starting price for the laptop is $1399 for the DIY model and $1699 for the pre-built version with Windows pre-installed. The higher-end Ryzen 7040HS processor and larger design contribute to the increased cost. Notably, the laptop features a 165Hz refresh rate display with VRR and FreeSync support.
