I’m thinking about buying the 16 as I want a new Linux-compatible laptop and I like the whole idea behind Framework. I do a little bit of gaming but honestly just what my Steam Deck is capable of, so I was planning on buying it without the GPU for the moment.

Looking at the two processor choices, they seem very similar on performance. I’m not sure I can justify the $200 price difference, especially with the hope of a future upgrade to a newer generation.

Any other thoughts?

    Yeah, I’m kind of hoping that I can “leapfrog” upgrades. Buy a GPU when the next gen comes out, then a new main board in a generation or two after that, etc…

      Is that how it works? I didn’t know they would upgrade the current parts just have replacement available.

        Yeah, it’s kind of their whole schtick. The 13 is upgradeable from the 11th gen Intel all the way up to the 13th or even the AMD main board.
