Description

We've designed the Framework Laptop for maximum flexibility, both from a hardware and a software perspective. To demonstrate this, within the 5 minute format of the Lightning Talk, I'll be swapping the Mainboard on a Framework Laptop to convert it from an x86 processor to a RISC-V processor, both of which support Ubuntu! While doing the swap, I'll talk through some of both the business and hardware decisions we've made to enable this level of modularity.
