Hey, I swear I heard someone talk about an upgradable laptop once. Can someone fill me in? Sounds interesting. (hexbear.net)

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!

Yeah but I can use a laptop for work.

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