Project I've been working on that I'm very passionate about. A fully upgradeable gaming handheld where you can upgrade the battery, mainboard (cpu), ram, storage by utilising Frameworks modular components. I will be selling it soon as a DIY kit for those that want another way to reuse (or buy new) their Framework components. Can be currently upgraded to a Ryzen 7840U mainboard and a 61Wh battery for maximum performance. Components used in video: Intel 1260p mainboard 16GB ram 512gb ssd 55Wh Battery dual speakers 7 inch FHD touchscreen High speed WIFI & Bluetooth https://twitter.com/pitstop_tech

Only initial thoughts are why in their right mind are they using windows on a handheld device

    So I don’t game a lot and I’m not sure what that car driving game is, but I noticed at ~1:30 his left thumb is moving all over the place and the car keeps driving in a straight line? It doesn’t seem like any of his hand/finger movements match what’s on the screen, am I crazy?

      Yeah I think I agree. Honestly, owning a Framework 12 main board I was kind of shocked at how good the graphics were for this guy (it’s just Intel integrated which suuucks, though to be fair I’ve barely tried gaming on my Framework). I’m wondering if he’s just playing a video to show more proof-of-concept (not super dishonest, as Framework is going to soon release a Ryzen mainboard that is expected to have pretty reasonable graphics built in)

      You can replace the main board, screen, etc all separately. So if you want an upgraded processor, you can buy a main board and be on your way.

      It’s not modular in the sense that you can plug random stuff together, it’s modular in the sense that you can replace each piece independently.

          Yes, they are. This is just a PC in a handheld form factor. I would say that Steam Deck isn’t modular since the only pieces that can realistically be upgraded are the SSD and analog sticks. But this allows motherboard, screen, RAM, and controllers.
