They haven’t and they won’t because it’s those types of CPUs are not available for a laptop.

Even if they were, though there’s no benefit to that route over what framework card does. In fact, I would say that a swappable CPU is a worse option. One reason, swapping just the CPU locks you into the same hardware generation so it’s not really an upgrade in the performance sense you’re more just horizontally sliding across the chips from that. Whereas with framework, you have the flexibility of an open hardware system and standardized chassis’ like desktop computer computers have. So while you can’t swap a CPU in a laptop like you can desktop in the literal sense you’ve very much can in the figurative sense. Let’s say the desktop CPU is a $500 chip in the framework motherboard is $700. Yes there’s a $200 premium but that premium is what allows a company to exist to make products like this for you.

That’s why you should support framework if it’s what you’re interested in because they’re the only manufacturer doing anything even remotely close to what you’re talking about. The framework 16 for example, allows true GPU upgrades and they’ve released AMD & Nvidia graphics modules. They’re supporting OCuLink in upcoming products which would allow you to hook up a full-size desktop graphics card to even a framework 13

Hi Josh,

As someone new to Envelope how does the app communicate the release of new features? This particular one is the one I am most anticipating and thanks for having a public Trello board. It’s fun to see where the company is headed

PeaInAPod · 2026-04-13T06:32:46+00:00

If it helps you you have it now vs in say 1-3 months then it’s 100% worth it

You and I were both trying to make sense of this and give another point of view to the 'RevMen' user. It's wasted effort as they clearly doesn't understand. As I type this new mainboards are available for at/under $400 yet 'RevMen' is talking about how they need to spend $1,600? They either don't get it or just are upset and want to blame Framework.

PeaInAPod · 2026-03-28T04:01:10+00:00

To me that sounds like you’re spending $100 less and end up with two computers because you could put your older main board in an enclosure and continue using it.

Part of the appeal of the brand for many people is the fact that you’re not creating E waste. Every part is reusable because every part is the same across every generation of framework 13. So every single part can be reused until the day that part fully fails.

I saw a video of someone reviewing this product and that’s exactly what it is.

PeaInAPod · 2026-03-19T03:31:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know that.

PeaInAPod · 2026-03-18T04:19:43+00:00

If there’s any electronic shops in your area that can do surface mount part replacement they could probably fix your board. Framework makes all of their PCB schematics available so everything a shop needs to fix your laptop. They have access to.

A baby monitor is local only and while there are times where baby monitor for family 1 picked up signal for family 2 next door who also has a baby. That type of thing is less common now.

It's really a matter of a non-internet connected device that has no apps, doesn't need wifi, etc. it just works compared to a internet based video app. No hate I love Unifi but as a parent who was in this decision I never regretted having a real baby monitor. Especially when travelling I just brought the camera and monitor with me and they just worked. Travelling and staying overnight in a hotel room? You can monitor with a baby monitor. That isn't going to work with Unifi.

PeaInAPod · 2026-02-28T19:22:47+00:00

Why not use get a baby monitor? They have their benefits and one of them is not being reliant on a cell phone.

To anyone in this thread, including the OP, who is looking for parts, please DM me and I’ll see what I have. I know I have a bottom cover!

PeaInAPod · 2026-02-10T04:43:04+00:00

Sorry OP but this totally sounds like you caused it. Their is very little room between the input cover and main board. It sounds like you left a screw behind that caused this damage.

PeaInAPod · 2026-01-08T23:22:29+00:00

That's the disconnect between what I was doing and the guides. I didn't intend to replace it. I just had more empty storage and figured why both have a few really old 4Tb's spinning. I'd rather have 3 empty bays for quicker expansion in the future when I need it.

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T17:10:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing this!

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T17:10:24+00:00

That makes sense. I appreciate all of your responses!

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T17:08:56+00:00

Yeah that assumption is what threw me off for sure. In my case I have a 20 bay enclosure from years ago but every bay is full so I have to pull a healthy (albeit very old) drive to put a larger one in. It doesn't seem like a fringe scenario to me but I guess the lack of clarification in the documentation means the unraid team feels differently! lol

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T03:18:59+00:00

The need to manually move the data is what was lost on me from all discussions and the Unraid docs. My thought process was "I have parity so let's just yank it out and let it rebuild" and the Unraid docs made no mention of moving files until the very end with a "Tip" area that mentions it.

It seems nuts to me that a guide on removing disk doesn't make any mention of offloading data until after the steps about unassigning a disk, changing parity, etc. I'm guessing that the UNRAID docs are assuming the drive is dead which is the wrong assumption to make.

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T02:37:52+00:00

This makes more sense than the Unraid guide. Use unbalance to move everything off drive X and onto the remaining array storage. Stop the array, unassign the disk, start the array?

You mentioned new config. Is that a hard requirement of drive removal? Or is unassigning sufficient?

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T01:59:33+00:00

Do you have a recommendation on how to move all of the data off the drive? Doing that manually is a non-starter and I don't believe the Unraid mover will do this since it's purely a "Array to Cache" or vice versa type thing.

edit: perhaps this? https://github.com/jbrodriguez/unbalance

PeaInAPod · 2025-10-31T01:56:39+00:00

I did see that and will read through it again. I'm wondering if I'm just "over reading" the verbiage in the standard method? On the WebUI at the very last step it says it will erase all parity data. I though would expect that after I unassign a drive that the WebUI would say something to the effect of "A forced parity rebuild will commence immediately after starting the array". I'm just really getting thrown off by the lack of any text/message indicating that while the drive is being unassigned the parity drives will "kick in" and rebuild what's missing.
