Comment on Review: Framework Laptop finally gets an AMD Ryzen config—and it’s pretty good

Just the eGPU dock will cost you like $300

At that point, might as well get the Framework 16 with the 7700S for $400 more, since it’s a slightly downclocked 7600XT which is already selling for $270 so it’s a $130 markup compared to buying an expensive eGPU dock first

both are upgradable

You’re replacing not upgrading

Also if a new laptop is only $400 more than the graphics card in it then it’s not one you want

  Framework 16 has an upgradable GPU, you’re only replacing the GPU to upgrade the laptop. The laptop without the GPU is $1400 or so depending on the configuration
  
  the $400 price is the price of the GPU module, when AMD releases more powerful mobile GPUs you can upgrade to a newer, more powerful module
