This clever new gaming laptop has an upgradable Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU

A new gaming laptop has introduced a novel new idea that claims to solve the problem of upgrading your GPU in a portable machine. Instead of ditching your laptop and buying a new one, or plugging a cumbersome external GPU box into the back of it, you can swap out the graphics card at the back of the Framework 16 for another one, with the top option currently being an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 module.

Even the best gaming laptop designs on our buying guide can’t be upgraded when it comes to the internal GPU, and that’s a real problem when you’re paying so much money for a machine, as it automatically becomes obsolete a few years down the line. However, Framework claims that its new design enables you to do just that, with a choice of GPU modules that can be swapped in and out of the machine, depending on your priorities, including one based on one of the latest Nvidia GPUs.
