In India, we squeeze value out of every single rupee.
But here’s the harsh truth: most laptops feel outdated in 2–3 years.
And big brands? Forget Upgrades—unless you consider buying a new charger for your MacBook an “upgrade.”
When it comes to service centers, let’s just say the experience is… like-cactus.
Once, I deliberately changed my bootable drive just to test them—guess what? They tried charging me ₹1,500 because apparently my Windows was corrupted. (Spoiler: it wasn’t.)
Now imagine this: a laptop where you don’t beg a service guy with greasy hair to swap your RAM.
Instead, you do it yourself in 5 minutes—like changing LEGO blocks.
It’s cheaper, reliable, and gives you the peace of mind of never hearing:
“Sir, motherboard change karna padega. ₹40,000 lagega.”
Framework ditched AMD-only and now ships a modular Nvidia RTX 5070 (8GB GDDR7).
It’s around 30–40% faster than the Radeon 7700S.
Also, you get an extra USB-C port that doubles as a display output and charges your laptop.
(Laptops charging laptops—it’s 2025, anything’s possible.)
Latest Ryzen AI 300 chips (AI 7 350, AI 9 HX 370) =
more AI processing power than your neighbor’s ChatGPT subscription.
Basically, it makes Netflix look like IMAX.
What’s Great
What Could Annoy You
If Framework ever launches in India, the Laptop 16 could be the only laptop you keep for a decade.
You upgrade it like LEGO, fix it yourself, and save yourself from scammy service centers.
Yes, it’s pricey upfront, a little bulky, and not perfect.
But hey—at least you won’t need to buy a new laptop every two years just because your RAM sneezed.
So, dear laptop giants: stop gluing everything down.
Because once Indians get their hands on Framework…
we won’t go back.
Thanks for reading! If you want more deep dives like this, smash that “read another blog” button—or just come back tomorrow when your laptop inevitably crashes.
