Framework Laptop Launches AMD Ryzen Upgradeable Laptop, Intel Raptor Lake Models Too

Finally an option. They were not, when they did only offer Intel.

Plain and simple, I do not want Intel. Not in Zen era. And specially not in a laptop, where AMD is so much better that every Intel laptop simply looks bad.

"also announced today that they will be introducing the Framework Laptop 16 later in 2023 as their larger laptop with modular discrete graphics and more." This is big news, upgradable graphics on a laptop is something that has never really existed, having a GPU and RAM on a stick that plugs into the PCIe bus would be a huge welcome!

MXM modules were and are still a thing, I had a laptop with one. I don't think they'll invent something new and proprietary here.
