>continuing to sell the 7700S is absolutely clownish considering how much time and money they have sunk into the AMD partnership.
Chances are that Framework wanted something better but AMD isn't offering anything. No RDNA4 laptop chips currently exist and it doesn't seem like they're making anything soon
>or at least 12 when other laptop manufacturers manage to do this easily in less space
Source on this? Every other laptop manufacturer has been getting shafted by Nvidia with 8GB 5070s to the point where Jarrod's Tech and HUB made a video on it.

>>You can buy an entirely new laptop with better specs for $2100 and one with matching specs for like $1700.
This is true, pricing is fucked on the 16 and I can't recommend any of my friends to pay premium or MBP prices for mediocre specs.

>Any chance of notable price drops for the original Framework 16?
You'll have to wait longer, it takes a few months before they start dropping prices on old stock.
>Or a 4060/4070 module for those of us who care about 32 bit PhysX support?
Nvidia stopped making those chips last year, you're shit out of luck.
At the moment, the only good products Framework is really offering are the 13 and the Desktop. Everything else seems to be too expensive for what's on offer.
