I just updated my story with some hands-on impressions and a photo gallery; we should have a quick video coming later today too!

Don’t call it duct-tape! Tyvek is a plastic that feels (and creases) like paper, similarly made of fibers bonded together. I have a wallet made of the stuff. The bag has dedicated pockets for Framework’s Expansion Cards, screwdriver, and up to a 13-inch laptop. The $39 sleeve comes in silver or black.

The Framework Laptop 16 is the most modular laptop ever made — but we’ve never been huge fans of the uneven and occasionally creaky spacers that let you shift the keyboard and touchpad left and right. Here are new one-piece versions. The touchpad might feel nicer now that it’s haptic, too! Waiting to hear the price on these.

20 hours of 4K Netflix, says CEO Nirav Patel. It’s got a Core Ultra 3 chip, a 22 percent larger and denser battery, a custom 30-120Hz VRR screen and LPCAMM2 compression mounted memory. Full story coming soon.

It’s even bigger than Framework’s existing 2.5Gbps expansion card, and will definitely stick out the side of your machine. But it’s fast! (Framework gave up on foldable Ethernet ports when it turned out their internals were too chunky, BTW.) The company isn’t yet saying how much it’ll cost.

That’s Framework CEO Nirav Patel, with a message that’s sure to resonate with his modular computer company’s fanbase. He briefly joked that Framework would announce “Framework AI” today.
