I didn't quite get what form the modular upgradeable graphics would take:

* Is this an "egpu connected by a cable" situation, or something actually integrated into the laptop's body?

* What are realistic possibilities for how much gpu, and how much of a premium would it be over other laptop or desktop gpu's? Is this something you would be making, or third parties?

Seems like pcie connection to the mainboard

> The Framework Laptop 16 has an Expansion Bay system that contains both the cooling fans and an interface for high-power, high-speed PCIe peripherals like GPUs. Expansion Bay modules can extend in both thickness and depth to accomodate higher power requirements.
