Linus tours the Framework Laptop factory
Imagine a laptop market in 10 years, with universal upgradable components based on an agreed set of standards.
Think this is more of a pipe-dream though, considering that 10 years is a long time for PC interfaces and internal interconnects. Swapping between different laptop manufacturers will be unlikely to happen, I feel.
Framework allowing for the whole mainboard to be replaced seems like a good halfway meeting point, and each case size being a constant chassis that hopefully will be supported for a long while.
Hope that other manufacturers follow suit, and at least have their own lines of upgradable laptops.
I honestly thought that USB 3.0 wouldn’t be such a big deal over a decade later, but we’re still using USB 2.0 too frequently.
I believe that USB4, even the 20gbps variety will be fairly prevalent in 10 years.
LOL
I’m hoping that something like this will start affecting the smartphone market
cough, cough, lightening port.
