Although, there's no exact info on any new laptops like the modular Framework laptops, Intel mentions an idea of 14 and 16 inch laptops with easily replaceable CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, WiFi , IO boards, and cooling fans.

It's good that laptop upgradeability and right to repair are no longer a taboo for the corporate world.

No trackpoint on this rather consumer-class laptop. As far as I remember it's the 1st trackpoint-less ThinkPad series. Breaking tradition, but how many people used it besides the trackpad and mouse anyway?
