    Framework like modular laptop would fix this. Need a new screen? No problem. Need a new processor? No problem.

    Upgrade whatever is outdated and just that

      Yeah but imagine if we had a laptop motherboard standard like desktops.

      Instead of ATX it would be something like MLF - Modular Laptop Framework

      Where there would be some board standard for laptop boards.

      Then you get screen ribbon standards, keyboard ribbon standards, etc.

      This would allow one to order a laptop case with screen, keyboard and touchpad. But you can pick your board, cpu, ram.

      I know some companies have done GPU upgrades but how nice would it be to upgrade your 4 year old $3k laptop’s GPU?
