    So I don’t game a lot and I’m not sure what that car driving game is, but I noticed at ~1:30 his left thumb is moving all over the place and the car keeps driving in a straight line? It doesn’t seem like any of his hand/finger movements match what’s on the screen, am I crazy?

      Yeah I think I agree. Honestly, owning a Framework 12 main board I was kind of shocked at how good the graphics were for this guy (it’s just Intel integrated which suuucks, though to be fair I’ve barely tried gaming on my Framework). I’m wondering if he’s just playing a video to show more proof-of-concept (not super dishonest, as Framework is going to soon release a Ryzen mainboard that is expected to have pretty reasonable graphics built in)

      You can replace the main board, screen, etc all separately. So if you want an upgraded processor, you can buy a main board and be on your way.

      It’s not modular in the sense that you can plug random stuff together, it’s modular in the sense that you can replace each piece independently.

          Yes, they are. This is just a PC in a handheld form factor. I would say that Steam Deck isn’t modular since the only pieces that can realistically be upgraded are the SSD and analog sticks. But this allows motherboard, screen, RAM, and controllers.
