A laptop you can upgrade the parts of instead of buying a whole new laptop? Sounds pretty cool. Did I dream it up or is this a real thing?

    I can’t imagine its economical. laptops aren’t modular to cut down on size. At most, you can probably upgrade ram/harddrive. But replacing things like mobo, cpu, psu, gpu; not gonna happen. Just get a desktop!

        I did a bit of research for a friend in the market and this one had an extra m2 hdd slot and ram up to 32gigs. If you’re looking for cpu and gpx

        Modular used to be more common, but nowadays while you can still find “socket-based cpus” and “upgradeable mxm graphics” you’ve gotta search those terms on a Clevo-based reseller like Sagernotebooks or eurocom. or maybe xmg

      the niche of a framework laptop is that you can replace and upgrade every part.
