This is their only value proposition, they don&amp;#x27;t have an alternative.
In a very &amp;quot;Innovator&amp;#x27;s Dilemma&amp;quot; kind of. way, Dell and other big manufacturers have their main lines with higher margins and&amp;#x2F;or volume that really drives their attention and money, so any new innovation that takes more than 1 to 3 years to mature gets cut pretty fast. For Framework is kind a kind of &amp;quot;burn the ships&amp;quot; moment, they don&amp;#x27;t have anything else to turn to, so they have to keep pushing. I really hope they shine (and don&amp;#x27;t get acquired)!</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>nrp</author><text>We’ve been very deliberate about making this not a traditional gaming laptop, but a laptop that can be configured with enough performance to play intense games.  You can configure it without the Graphics Module and have a high-performance 16” notebook with reconfigurable input and easy repairability and upgradeabilty.</text></comment>

I’m on an old Xbox and it’s showing its age but I don’t game enough to justify buying a whole gaming PC. If I can plug a GPU into my work machine and play some games? Now that’s compelling. The fact that it wouldn’t have all the cringey “gamer” decorations you see on the average gaming laptop would be a bonus too.&lt;p&gt;(all that said a Steam Deck is probably still the more compelling purchase for me in that regard, I’ve been eyeing one for a while)</text></comment>
