\n\t\t<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

Framework, the modular computer company, just released its first delightful tiny desktop PC<\/a>, on top of its smallest laptop yet<\/a>. But it\u2019s already teasing its next big live announcement on YouTube<\/a> for August 26th at 8am PT \/ 11am ET, saying it\u2019ll reveal how \u201csomething big just got better.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

While that may seem like a vague phrase, it might narrow things down quite a bit! Framework only has one existing \u201cbig\u201d product other than the Framework Desktop, the one that mysteriously didn\u2019t<\/em> get an update at its last event in February. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking, of course, about the Framework Laptop 16, the most ambitious and most modular laptop ever made<\/a>. When I tracked down Framework CEO Nirav Patel in February, he told me that the company was \u201cnowhere near done\u201d<\/a> with the laptop just yet. <\/p>\n

Or, maybe Framework will help fisherman change how they catch fish in New England? That\u2019s what Google Search tells me, anyhow:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think the Framework Laptop 16 is a safer bet, though.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been quietly frustrated that I haven\u2019t been able to give the Laptop 16 my full recommendation yet \u2014 because I want products like this to exist! \u2014 partly because of early cooling and build quality<\/a> deficiencies, and partly because Framework has never truly promised that you\u2019ll be able to actually upgrade its GPU to a more powerful one down the road. <\/p>\n

But with Framework\u2019s Laptop 13, the company has proved again and again that truly modular and upgradable laptops can be a reality, and it\u2019s ironed out many issues along the way. Here\u2019s hoping August 26th is the day it fulfills the promise of modular gaming \/ creator laptops as well.<\/p>\n

BTW, in case you missed it: We had Nirav on The Vergecast<\/em> in March<\/a> to chat all things Framework. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
