In terms of performance, Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series graphics cards have been a rousing success. But in every other way, it’s been a bit of disaster . The confluence of supply limitations, another explosion in crypto mining, and unexpectedly huge demand have made it nearly impossible to buy one of these new graphics cards . I hope the new GeForce RTX 3060 gets into more gamers’ hands, but there’s no guarantee. The good news? If you are able to snag one, you’ll be very pleased by the massive upgrade it will offer to your rig. Design Nvidia isn’t releasing a first-party version of the RTX 3060. That’s a shame. Not only do these “Founders Edition” models set a good standard for pricing, they also are the prettiest graphics card you can buy. With the gorgeous redesign of the 30-series cards, that’s a shame.

Launched by the team that founded Oculus, the Framework Laptop takes an entirely new approach to an Ultrabook laptop. On the surface, with its attractive machined aluminum shell and sleek design, the Framework Laptop looks similar to a MacBook Pro or a Surface Laptop .

Now you won’t have to throw away your current laptop when things are running slow. At least, that’s the idea. In addition to standard upgrades, like the SSD and RAM modules that can be replaced on some Windows notebooks today, you will also be able to upgrade the ports, Wi-Fi module, screen, keyboard, battery, and even the entire motherboard with each successive generation of silicon released by companies like Intel. The caveat is that you’d have to wait for … [Read more...] about The Framework Laptop is fully modular — and it looks incredible
