Framework Unveils $39 Storage Expansion Module (theverge.com) 2
Framework has announced a $39 Dual M.2 Adapter for its Laptop 16, enabling users to add two additional M.2 slots to the laptop's expansion bay. The new component allows for up to 26TB of total storage when combined with the laptop's existing SSD slots, supporting various M.2 form factors with PCIe 4.0 connectivity.
The company also replaced the Laptop 16's liquid metal cooling system with Honeywell PTM7958 thermal paste to address performance concerns. Framework will provide the new thermal solution to existing customers upon request. The adapter marks Framework's first modular expansion component for the Laptop 16 since its launch, complementing the optional Radeon RX 7700S graphics card offering.

Serious contender (Score:2)
The Framework 13" laptop will become a serious contender for my next laptop once it starts offering the new power efficient Intel Lunar Lake CPUs. I am currently addicted to the energy efficiency and performance of MacBooks. But I also hate paying through the nose for RAM and storage upgrades. The new Intel CPUs bridge the power and efficiency gap and get very close to where MacBooks are.

AMD strix point with hopefully LPCAMM2 memory is my sweet spot.
Not touching Intel for a while with their latest blunders.
