A NEW ERA OF U.S.-JAPAN TRADE RELATIONS: Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order implementing the framework agreement between the United States and Japan that he announced on July 22, 2025. The framework agreement provides American producers and manufacturers well over $15 billion of unprecedented access to Japanese markets while still accounting for U.S. national security needs. American …

Despite its lack of upgradeable system memory, Framework has tried to make its Framework Desktop a welcoming platform for upgraders and modders, releasing 3D-printable versions of a few case parts and generally sticking to standard-sized parts and standard connectors. Often, it’s independent creators who are making the weirdest and most interesting mods for Framework’s devices, but PC cooling company Noctua …

Today, I can confirm the system actually works. I traveled to Framework’s San Francisco offices to be the first journalist to upgrade an entire laptop graphics card, with my own hands, in just three minutes — including the time it took to reboot. I yanked an AMD Radeon RX 7700S video card out of the machine and plugged in a …

While the Framework 13 was upgraded earlier this year with a motherboard upgrade for the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series “Strix Point”, the larger Framework 16 has been stuck in the Zen 4 era. But today Framework announced a new upgrade path for this 16-inch modular laptop for the Ryzen AI 300 series as well as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 …

But the company’s also revealing some intriguing upgrades that didn’t quite make the cut — including an extra-large haptic touchpad a la Apple’s MacBooks (with no physical click), and the company’s first external graphics module (eGPU). Not everything in the video below is actually coming to market, and some of it won’t be aimed at everyday consumers. Framework CEO Nirav …

Framework CEO Nirav Patel said he would deliver “the holy grail for gamers” with the Framework Laptop 16. In 2023, he suggested it’d be the first consumer notebook to fulfil the promise of modular, upgradable graphics cards like a desktop PC. We at The Verge were skeptical, because the last time we heard someone tell that story, it ended in …

It’s been a busy year for Framework, the company behind the now well-established series of repairable, upgradeable, modular laptops (and one paradoxically less-upgradeable desktop). The company has launched a version of the Framework Laptop 13 with Ryzen AI processors, the new Framework Laptop 12, and the aforementioned desktop in the last six months, and last week, Framework teased that it …

I’ve long dreamed of doing all my gaming on PC — a single platform that’s easily upgradeable and lets me play my overstuffed Steam library wherever and however I like. The Steam Deck is a fantastic handheld, but for my living room, I want something more powerful that works as well on my TV as it does at a desk. …

Over the course of this year, the U.S. economy has shown resilience in a context of sweeping changes in economic policy. In terms of the Fed’s dual-mandate goals, the labor market remains near maximum employment, and inflation, though still somewhat elevated, has come down a great deal from its post-pandemic highs. At the same time, the balance of risks appears …
