>I wish Intel would stop creating products nobody wants
Those are two very different things. I, as a consumer, want this, because I would very much like to upgrade the processor in my laptops without replacing the whole device, for environmental and cost reasons. (I backed the EOMA-68 project for the same reason.)
If Intel can get a few manufacturers on board with the idea, more power to them.
- pmontra 10y agoThere are laptops with replaceable CPU, GPU, RAM, disks, etc. I own one, a HP ZBook 15 from 2014. However they're not common and I see how low end laptops could become docking stations for a compute card. They're going to have an internal USB hub to connect IO devices to the card USB C, disk, screen, touch, keyboard. I wonder how much that's going to degrade performances. There's going to be a limit to the upgrade options, depending on the cooling capabilities of the laptop.
