I have a fist-gen Framework 13 (Intel 11). If I want to upgrade to fully match the new gear, what needs upgrading..?

Off the top of my head:

  • display,
  • mobo,
  • my 64GB of DDR4 must be swapped for DDR5 IIUC,
  • camera,
  • the new 61Wh battery, and
  • there were these new speakers, I think.

I should probably get a new keyboard as well, as I'm one of the people with the DEL key randomly going dead.

I already replaced:

  • hinges, and
  • the top cover.

I can hold on to the £10 wireless card, the PCIe3 SSD that I bought after WD just died one day, and the compressed alufoil that is the main body.

Well fuck me.

Well the good news is yoi don't have to upgrade anything, or everything at once. You can get the display now and when your CPU isn't enough switch mobo and ram then.

Why would you need to upgrade the camera, speakers, battery, or display?

Upgrade what you need based on bottlenecks to your work.
