World Exclusive: Upgrading my Laptop to AMD
3 years ago by Bacteria to c/technology
I'm definitely interested in Framework. Being able to choose the ports, and location of the ports will solve a small but continuesly annoying problems.
I love the concept, especially with the IO modules. But I wouldn't know what to do with the old device/parts even if I can easily built a new machine out of them. The last time I got a new laptop I sold the old one, so it didn't go on a landfill anyways.
In an ideal world, you'd also sell the parts. Someone who couldn't afford the new model should be able to assemble an older model from spare parts.
But another option is to 3D print a case for the mainboard, then run it as a Lemmy server :)
