Buying call

Buy the Framework Laptop 16 if you want a repairable, upgradable 16-inch laptop: reviewers praised its removable RTX 5070 graphics module, modular keyboard deck, six expansion-card slots and helpful guides. Skip it if you want a polished, finished-feeling laptop, because seams remain and the keyboard feels mushy. Battery life is middling, at 5 hours 33 minutes in one test, and the screen picks up glare.
