    Lets reinvent non soldiered on cpu, ram, gpu…. And then charge them as features.

    Go Dell! I think that we are seeing the results of Framework really putting a spotlight on the feasibility of 100% user upgradable technology.

    Reminds me of that modular phone, Project Ara, that never took off. We’ll see this time around

    This is potentially a great idea, but I want to see a robot work on a dinged up/damaged/dirty/dusty laptop interior and see how it copes then. They always show a beautifully clean interior but after long, rough life they rarely are, particularly if the user is not particularly tech savvy.

    Yeah, we’ve heard this before with the Alienware Area 51m. We all know how that story ended.

    Why do modular devices not take off:

    95% of people are not tech-savvy; they want something they can use easily without gimmicks.

    Average Granny, Gramps, and Gen Z in first-world countries don’t have that much technical knowledge about clock speed, overclocking, RAID 0, etc., so they want a simple yet astonishing product.

    This is the reason Apple’s Mac and other devices sell very well.

    Except dell can charge you as much as they want for those parts.

    There’s already the framework laptop in the market, makes me wonder why Dell doesn’t release this

  10. Charlie Pink TV

    December 15, 2022 at 4:57 pm

    I want it. We need more of this on the market.

    This shouldn’t be just a concept, this needs to enter mass production ASAP.
    Apple could easily design their products like this, but they won’t because they are toxic and greedy…

    Did he just say you have a laptop you don’t use keyboard or screen and put in a diff laptop ? Then begs question why did you have the original laptop in 1st place and if it’s not been used surely that laptop is in good working order as it has not been turned on ….just saying

    • Bill Steppan

      Well, if it spent its life docked to a hub that had external KVM, in theory those parts would have been rarely used. They’d have still been subjected to heat cycles but not all the actual screen on-time or physical wear and tear.

  13. Wong Tik Ki

    Why would companies do this when the Apple business model is still the most profitable? As long as repairability and sustainability isn’t the most profitable, products like these is all just hype.

    Modular has been tried. No real consumer interest for it.

  15. 2disbetter

    Framework laptop does all of this now. Great to see Dell making an effort, this is very important.

  16. xxnike629xx

    A modular laptop … That is definitely in the right direction. I *hate* when companies solder on parts; especially things like battery, internal storage, and RAM on a laptop. Those 2 are the things that can be easily replaced/upgraded by even people that are not as technically inclined or experienced.

  17. Brad9plus

    Dell would never do it…they’ll do when another company have the balls to actually roll it out. It’s the same when all the car company made concept EV in the early 90s but it wasn’t until Tesla actually rolled out with it that they decided to follow. This is true of Dell, they don’t have the balls to green light something that will disrupt the way laptop is made. I see Dell like Kodak, Blockbuster, and the many many companies that have a great idea but don’t roll with it cause it’ll disrupt their current business

    It is about time! Every manufacturer must embrace the concept. I hope it comes out on the market soon…

    To all who visit, remember… FRAMEWORK did it first and DELL now realizes that the APPLE EVILSPHERE of anti-repairablility, will and MUST die!!
    Cause if we dont stop their abusive anti-repair policies, we will just keep filling our landfills and destroying our planet.

  20. Bmuzammil

    December 15, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    still it requires a PRO, which is not a good thing. parts should be easy to replace like unpluging a USB.

  21. Digital Inspiration

    December 15, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    No to break anyone’s bubble but don’t think upgrading it, just replacing with same parts

  22. Juan Carlos Araujo S.

    December 15, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    Good ides, but still a concept. The Framework laptop is the real thing. Why won’t Dell take the extra step and make it a real product? Just a show for some greenwashing?

    We work for a school district and support thousands of laptops, we repair dozens per day. This would be a game changer for us.

    wow!

  31. Jonny Vancouver

    Recycling laptop parts is good and all, but I think more people would be interested in the ability to upgrade their parts without having to buy a whole new laptop. Bit of a misleading title.

  32. Dennis Porter

    December 16, 2022 at 12:59 pm

    If they build it well, I will buy it.

    All companies should have to pay a landfill tax based on the net impact of their products on global landfill usage.

  34. Rob Perreault

    December 16, 2022 at 2:45 pm

    Look we should be fining companies that are not doing this. The fact is that we are practically past the point of no return with respect to Earth and global warming, carbon reaching disasterous levels in our atmosphere. Why are we so weak in doing things like this???

  35. Abhi Thakur

    December 16, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    wow. I would definitely spend extra foe something like this. good work dell

  36. LimitedWard

    December 16, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Great to see more companies thinking about repairability, even if it’s still in the concept stage. It remains to be seen how easy the parts will be to get along with how long they’ll support it assuming this does go to market.

    Huge kudos to Framework for pushing Dell and HP to do something similar. But I’m sold to Framework now. thank you!

    2022 : this year we announce 12.1inch.
    2023 : we announce 12.5inch in a new form factor which is not compatible with 12.1 inch model.
    2024 : we introduce a new 12.9inch model with all new form factor and new chassis layout.

    I would love to buy a framework-type laptop like this

    imagine sending your laptop to vending machine to repair it in just 10 minutes.. same situation with your phone, watch, earphone.. can solve ewaste problems by 90%..

  45. GEO_SD

    Now if this becomes the new standard for gaming laptops, that would be insane. Just being able to swap the gpu would be game changing

    still no liquid drains?

    Modular means it should allow us to upgrade processor etc recycling is not modular 🤐

    December 18, 2022 at 8:56 am

    🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ but with soldered on RAM and SSD so really not upgradeable or consumer advantageous, rather a cheap marketing play from DELL to make you buy more of their rubbish. This is coming from a 20 year DELL user. Now it’s just Macs for me. Because at least Mac’s just work which is what makes them a good investment if a working tool is what you need to help you make more money more quickly with less hassle.

    The only thing I hate about dell is their BIOS

    Sad it’s only a concept I would have buy that otherwise
