Framework is teasing a ‘big’ update for August 26th — could it be Framework 16?

Framework, the modular computer company, just released its first delightful tiny desktop PC, on top of its smallest laptop yet. But it’s already teasing its next big live announcement on YouTube

for August 26th at 8am PT / 11am ET, saying it’ll reveal how “something big just got better.”

While that may seem like a vague phrase, it might narrow things down quite a bit! Framework only has one existing “big” product other than the Framework Desktop, the one that mysteriously didn’t get an update at its last event in February.

I’m talking, of course, about the Framework Laptop 16, the most ambitious and most modular laptop ever made. When I tracked down Framework CEO Nirav Patel in February, he told me that the company was “nowhere near done” with the laptop just yet.

Or, maybe Framework will help fisherman change how they catch fish in New England? That’s what Google Search tells me, anyhow:

I think the Framework Laptop 16 is a safer bet, though.

I’ve been quietly frustrated that I haven’t been able to give the Laptop 16 my full recommendation yet — because I want products like this to exist! — partly because of early cooling and build quality deficiencies, and partly because Framework has never truly promised that you’ll be able to actually upgrade its GPU to a more powerful one down the road.

But with Framework’s Laptop 13, the company has proved again and again that truly modular and upgradable laptops can be a reality, and it’s ironed out many issues along the way. Here’s hoping August 26th is the day it fulfills the promise of modular gaming / creator laptops as well.

BTW, in case you missed it: We had Nirav on The Vergecast in March to chat all things Framework.
