We do not know anything about the Framework 16 Stay tuned to official channels for more information. ---

@dh1 If I were to speculate, I would bet it will be more expensive than the normal Framework laptop 13. Wouldn’t be surprised if it is close to $2000 with all the fancy expansions and features it will be offering. Guess we will just have to see when they announce it. ---

Thank you! I can’t wait for it to come out! ---

if the laptop comes at 2000€ or more, i hope there will be a good cpu and gpu with the price (at least a good i5 and a RTX 3080). Because YES the concept is awesome and the build quality is awesome too but i don’t want to spend 2000€ on a laptop with way less power than another laptop. (Thinking about the 13" which costs 1000e in France if we take like 16g of ram, and we buy a 50€ SSD. At this price i can go for a lenovo legion 15ACH6H with a 5600H and a RTX 3060 + 16g of ram and 500g of storage). I’m not that rich so i think framework is too expensive for me, but the company have all my support for the awesome work they are doing. ---

> [@NEKO1](#): > > but i don’t want to spend 2000€ on a laptop with way less power than another laptop In comparison there are better price/performance laptops available for you today. But they are neither as sustainable, nor as modular as this laptop is. Honestly for my current setup a dedicated gaming laptop or even a premium laptop would have been cheaper (I bought an eGPU) but 1. I wanted to get a small portable laptop that I can repair and 2. I wanted to support Framework and their mission and 3. I honestly don’t need much power when traveling. ---

@Anachron yes of course but i don’t want to spend the double of the money i should spend on a computer even for sustainability. Motherboard isn’t that cheap so for any upgrade or just replace a deficient part, i will have to pay a bit less than a brand new computer with the same CPU. Like the motherboard costs a bit less than a new pc with the same specs (in france at least). So yes i would like to pay more for sustainability and modularity (+ i’m a linux user so i want a well supported computer) but the price is just tooooo big. eGPU is also not very “cheap”. It costs the computer + the egpu + the rig (+ the psu in some case). As i said i’m not rich, i’m a student, i could pay 1000e for a laptop but i don’t want to spend this amount for just a 1340p for my cpu and 16g of ram (even if the computer is awesome beside that). ---

@Anachron nevermind just saw the prices, i’m wrong about the motherboard prices (i checked the wrong motherboard sorry). ---

> [@NEKO1](#): > > ut the price is just tooooo big. eGPU is also not very “cheap”. It costs the computer + the egpu + the rig (+ the psu in some case) That was my point! My setup is quite expensive. Even with the laptop 16 I think it will be more expensive than “normal” gaming laptops due to it’s better materials and flexible design. So when you really need a high end computer for gaming but can’t afford much I believe the best bet for you would be to look for 2nd hand gaming laptops with a usage of 1-2 years.
