I’d prefer an AMD 9000 series because I refuse to support Nvidia, but the upgradability is still an amazing achievement. I’m glad to see Framework delivering.
It could help if AMD still manufactured discrete mobile GPUs.
Most people don't need them. The gaming and workstation laptop market is smaller than ever. The integrated graphics has been "good enough" for a while now.
Especially since the Steam Deck and derivatives mostly killed the gaming laptop niche market.
High end gaming laptops needed desktop GPUs anyway, because at least for nVidia, once you get past the **60 range, the mobile version starts getting very small jumps in performance compared to the desktop.
At some point it's cheaper to get a gaming desktop and a cheap laptop lol
