Framework Laptop 16

The Framework Laptop 16 offers the ability to reconfigure the I/O ports, graphics system and keyboard deck with zero technical nouse. It makes for a laptop adaptable beyond your wildest imaginings.

But if you want a notebook that could last you for the next decade, and don’t mind so-so gaming performance, the Laptop 16 could be the notebook of your dreams.
