For the most part, today's laptop designs offer limited DIY upgrade options at best, like RAM and storage. And at worst, just getting inside the thing can be a major chore, only to find the RAM is soldered to the motherboard, and that you tore a ribbon cable when you pried off the panel. A startup called Framework is taking a decidedly different approach with a modular laptop designed to make all sorts of upgrades easy. Remember barebone whitebooks? That's what this effort reminds me of, but with modern hardware and a thinner build. "The conventional wisdom in the industry is that making products repairable makes them thicker, heavier, uglier, less robust, and more expensive. We’re here to prove that wrong and fix consumer electronics, one category at a time," Framework explains . Framework's first effort consists of a 13.5-inch laptop that somewhat resembles a MacBook, but is built around Intel's 11th Gen Core processors, configurable with up to 64GB of DDR4 memory, 4TB … [Read more...] about Framework is reviving the DIY laptop form factor and I couldn’t be happier

As part of our celebration of Black History month, we've been speaking to some of the leading voices from within the biggest companies in the PC gaming tech world. Having spoken with two Intel veterans earlier in the month , today we're talking with two AMD veterans from the resurgent CPU and GPU giant. Lamar Washington and Doug Lane have been part of the company for many years and have each played their part in the turnaround in AMD's fortunes from their respective positions. Lamar Washington Critical Environment Manager, AMD I have been in the data center facilities industry field for over 18 years with prior military technical background. In 2012, I landed a Data Center Facility Manager position serving as the facilities service provider for AMD’s North America data center located in Atlanta, GA. Under a year and half of meeting AMD’s customer service satisfaction and expectations; I was blessed and offered an AMD position as the site’s Critical Environment Manager … [Read more...] about Black History Month: Why diversity is vital in AMD, ‘we know that diverse workforces spur innovation’

Where do you begin when talking with inventor, IBM Fellow, engineer, and professor Dr. Mark Dean? His work on the IBM PC, ISA system bus, and Color Graphics Adapter in the 1980s is surpassed only by the project he led in the early 2000s, breaking the 1GHz clock speed barrier with a chip for the first time. Dr. Mark Dean Dr. Mark Dean earned a BSEE degree from the University of Tennessee in 1979, where he would return as John Fischer Distinguished Professor later in life. He also has an MSEE degree from Florida Atlantic University (1982), and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University (1992). In between all that he was breaking convention and working on cutting-edge technologies at IBM. Dean went on to become CTO of IBM Middle East and Africa, before shifting gears to achieve another lifelong goal of becoming a faculty member at a university, researching neuromorphic computing and advanced computer architectures at The University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tickle … [Read more...] about Gamers have a lot to thank Dr. Mark Dean for, and the world’s first 1GHz chip is only the start
