Why is the Framework 16 getting left behind? (thelemmy.club)

Seriously, what on earth is going on? They're releasing a whole new laptop and have given the FL13 Ryzen AI options but there's nothing new for the FL16. I'm hoping for a 2nd gen dGPU before I would get mine (or even a Zen 5 CPU, but I am OK with a Zen 4 as of now) but it seriously feels like there's no progress on that front. The last thing they made for the FL16 was the Dual M.2 and that was in December. Will there be new parts for the FL16? When? If not, will there be another dGPU laptop offering?

the fw16 is one generation behind which means absolutely nothing. the fd sold out 8 batches within hours of being announced. you seem to be implying the fd is a pointless device (if not, my bad for misinterpreting) but you are missing that the goal of framework is to make things that are better for consumers and more sustainable, meaning that with how big AI has gotten they need to provide something that makes it less harmful and allows it to be interacted with by people outside of big companies with agendas.
