Framework announced Modular GPU and 240 W USB-C support in the second generation of Laptop 16

Framework, second generation Laptop 16 introduced the model. Can be changed in the home environment on the new device Nvidia RTX 5070 Graphic module and 240 W USB-C charging support is.

With its modular structure, the new Laptop 16 allows the user the opportunity to easily change different parts. RTX 5070 module used on the graphic side 8 GB Memory contains. According to Patel, the Mobile RTX 5070 is only available with this capacity. For higher memory option, the design thickness should be increased. However, the device, AMD RYZEN AI 300 Series With the support of the motherboard, it remains up -to -date in processing power. Thanks to this structure, the user can provide performance improvement.

The prominent innovation on the charging side 240 W USB-C adapter was. This GAN -based solution offers both power and image transfer with a single cable. The price of the adapter was determined as 109 dollars (about 3,700 TL). This value was more appropriate than Delta and Ugreen solutions, which offer similar power. In addition, the device supports the Power Delivery 3.1 standard. In this way, the user can get rid of the classic adapter need. In addition, different protocols can be used via USB-C.

Among the innovations developed HAPTİK touchpad also took part. This surface, which does not contain physical clicks, is designed for fully width use. In addition, 3D printing files will be shared for the current palmrest. Users will be able to download these files and print in different colors. In any case, the trackpoint control bar is still in the prototype stage. Because the team could not develop a short piece that would be compatible with the screen. Therefore, the project was postponed.

Framework develops external solutions to re -evaluate graphic modules

Framework wants to revise graphic modules from the laptop 16. For this purpose EGPU Solution is working on. But this device will not be offered directly to the consumer. It is mostly planned to be developed for Maker communities. Thus, the old graphic modules are prevented from being idle. Besides that, One key modules Customizable keyboard parts, known as, are also included in the production process.

The company shelved the transparent screen frame project for now. Since the material used was fragile, mass production was not possible. However, tests on different polycarbonate and resin mixtures continue. Recently 64 GB RAM modules will also be on sale. Laptop 16 will become more flexible in both memory and graphics upgrades. In addition, the Sustainability -oriented approach of Framework continues to draw attention.
