FAQs

  • Framework Expansion Cards allow you to customize the ports and functionality of the Framework Laptop 16. Unlike other notebooks that require adapters and dongles to get to the ports you need, you can select the ones you want at order time and change them whenever you’d like. The Framework Laptop 16 supports six simultaneous Expansion Cards, with three on each side. You can select up to six USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, MicroSD, Ethernet, Audio, 1TB storage, or 250GB storage cards to fit your needs.
  • The Framework Laptop 16 charges over USB-C from the back four Expansion Card bays. We suggest configuring with at least one USB-C Expansion Card, since it is difficult to directly plug into the recessed USB-C receptacle that is inside the bay.
  • Yes, if you plan to use wired 3.5mm headphones, you will need an Audio Expansion Card. You can also use Bluetooth headphones or USB headphones without an Audio Expansion Card.
  • You can, but we don't recommend it. There are six Expansion Card slots on the Framework Laptop 16, so we suggest you have one for each.
  • 1st Gen was slightly faster than 2nd Gen, but we switched due to the original flash chip being discontinued. Now that 2nd Gen's flash parts are also nearing end of life, our supplier has secured more of the original 1st Gen chips, allowing us to resume its production.

Each card can be used in any of the 6 Expansion Card bays on the Framework 16 Laptop.

We suggest ordering 6 or more Expansion Cards. At least one Expansion Card should be USB-C to charge the laptop, and if an auxiliary audio/headphone jack is needed, an Audio Expansion Card, as there is no built-in jack with the Framework Laptop 16.
