    You’re replacing not upgrading

    Also if a new laptop is only $400 more than the graphics card in it then it’s not one you want

      Framework 16 has an upgradable GPU, you’re only replacing the GPU to upgrade the laptop. The laptop without the GPU is $1400 or so depending on the configuration

      the $400 price is the price of the GPU module, when AMD releases more powerful mobile GPUs you can upgrade to a newer, more powerful module

          The module includes the fans and heatsink, each GPU module is responsible for its own cooling so there might be even longer modules that jut out from the back more for more cooling
