The Framework Laptop 16 has taken its versatility to a new level by introducing the Dual M.2 adapter. This innovative module allows users to add two additional M.2 slots to their laptops, increasing storage capacity and device compatibility.
This dual M.2 adapter is a game-changer for storage fans. It fits into the Expansion Bay Shell, initially released alongside choices such as the AMD Radeon RX 7700S Graphics Module. The adapter supports M.2 devices in 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes and offers four lanes of PCIe 4.0 bandwidth to each slot.
Users can now add up to 16TB of NVMe storage to supplement the laptop's built-in SSD slots. The Laptop 16's overall storage capacity can reach an incredible 38TB when combined with the Framework Expansion Cards and SD card modules.

Apart from storage, the Dual M2 Adapter allows for creativity. Framework has tested AI accelerators and other high-speed modules to enable users to explore possibilities like connecting desktop GPUs and PCIe adapters. Framework offers open-source schematics and CAD references for developing custom modules, unlocking endless potential for personalization.
In addition to the storage upgrade, Framework's heat management has been improved. The company replaced liquid metal cooling with Honeywell PTM7958 thermal paste to ensure long-term performance stability. Current users can request this update for free, further demonstrating Framework's commitment to user satisfaction.

Framework's revisions are consistent with its eco-conscious concept. In addition to the modular upgrades, the company has developed "Mystery Boxes" filled with random return parts for tinkerers to encourage reuse and reduce waste.
Refurbished products, such as Framework Laptop 13 systems, are now available in the US and Canada to expand the brand's sustainability efforts.
The Dual M.2 Adapter is now available on the Framework Marketplace for $39, making it an affordable upgrade. With this update, the Framework Laptop 16 solidifies its reputation as the market's most customized and forward-thinking laptop.
As Framework continues innovating, its modular hardware ecosystem provides users unparalleled flexibility, future-proofing, and portable computing.
