The upgraded and modular laptops are not a new invention, but it is worth saying that only the framework has really managed to perform it well. And that is why one of the world’s largest notebook manufacturers has decided to join the operation, which has its own modular project, called Adapt X.
Is the company Complete electronics And before I go ahead, it is worth noting that the project itself has not publicly announced anything about the project. In fact, we have a little information about adaptation x If the design Foundation (Through Videovards,
It seems that the person who is working on it may have the same purpose of the framework, but it is being contacted from different angles. Through this, I mean there is a base laptop that you can change or upgrade different elements, without buying different laptops.
The starting point is the display, which comes in one of the two choices: 14 inches or 16 inches. The screen is fixed on the metal frame that acts as a center that you attach to everything else.
If the design page describes it with far more creativity: “14” and 16 “display with type C interface and display with a functional hub, expanded in ADPAT X -expanded iOPorts and modular AI units to support daily computing and high -performance AI works.”

This shows that ‘Functional Hub’ includes CPU, SSD, RAM, etc. and uses USB to connect keyboard and extension port modules. However, in the icon for a 14 -inch display, the hub looks smaller than 16 inches. So much so that there is no scope for any major processing chips, memory, or storage.
So does this mean that all these parts are in the keyboard module? Well if this happens, adaptation X does not kill me because of being a modular as a framework 16, for example, because no keyboard, number pad, track padder, and GPU can replace the main processor. And just referring to the ‘modular AI units’, referring to the complex, is anyone guess – ordinary GPU? Proprietary NPU module? Who knows but my curiosity is definitely devoid.
The 14 -inch version of the complex also looks less modular than 16 inches. If one looks closely at the pictures, three typec ports appear in the past to add ingredients with the former, while the latter offers four.
All of them said, without further information, it would be unfair to approve a decision on the compliance X, which is not less than the less. Since it is such a large company, it may be able to launch X with a much lower price tag than a complex framework, and even if it is very low modular, the cost is appropriate, it may be a good choice for anyone to continue for more years.
However, the Kampal will formally announce the project very quickly and once this happens, we can decide how much modular it is and will be able to consider what it is. At least, it would be great to compete more in the upgrade laptop market.
