> I really want to see the docking station that can double as an eGPU using the FW16 discrete GPU module

Yes! As another owner of the FW13, if they released some kind of external adapter for the FW16 GPU I'd definitely purchase the GPU and the adapter the day its open for sale.

We showed a proof of concept of exactly this actually at our initial launch event for Framework Laptop 16 last year. It's still something we see as an interesting use case to support, but we don't have a timeline around productization of it.

Well, I’ll be there when you get to it! I understand it’s a small company, and there must be a million priorities.

Have you ever considered designing a steam deck / handheld form factor that could take old motherboards from FW laptops?

Unsure how viable that would be, but it would help justify that proof of concept (imho).

Would be really cool if the GPU could serve multiple devices across generations like that somehow, eventually. Buy one FW laptop, upgrade it, use the old parts for a new handheld, use the old GPU as a dock for that handheld when you get a new one for the laptop.

Framework 13 + GPU Dock would be my ideal setup.
