Framework 16 has an upgradable GPU, you're only replacing the GPU to upgrade the laptop. The laptop without the GPU is $1400 or so depending on the configuration
the $400 price is the price of the GPU module, when AMD releases more powerful mobile GPUs you can upgrade to a newer, more powerful module
How does the gpu heat not damage the rest of it?
The module includes the fans and heatsink, each GPU module is responsible for its own cooling so there might be even longer modules that jut out from the back more for more cooling
