<p>I didn't mention this while recording (sorry), but if the Framework
13 isn't enough laptop, the Framework 16 is releasing <em>very</em> soon
as of writing and recording this (As of Feb 09 2024) and is open for
pre-order now. The Framework 16 includes a replaceable GPU along with
more expansion and a larger screen. This should provide a better gaming
experience and more power.</p>
