Review: Framework Laptop finally gets an AMD Ryzen config–and it’s pretty good
You definitely could. All the details are available on the FrameworkComputer github org and you could either use what they have as a basis for a chassis or design your own custom chassis that fits the framework parts.

Raspberry Pi 5
You can also buy mainboards[1] and expansion cards[2] (usb-c, hdmi etc.) from the same website. Depending on how beefy of a computer you want there are mainboards from 299 USD to 700 USD. So for ~500 USD you can get a very powerful tiny-ish computer. It obviously won't have the IO capabilities of pi-like hobby boards but it'll function great as a thin client for running linux / home automation stuff.

Where is everyone selling old framework mainboards/parts?
Framework themselves do sell older mainboards at a discount.

A Framework Laptop Hacking Story
So if this isn't the EC firmware flash, where is that? I peeked under all the components on the top side of the board that I could (fan, etc.) but couldn't find any other flash chips. I tried looking at the schematic, and while it mentions two flash ROMs, it doesn't mention where to find them. Reluctantly, I took out the mainboard and checked the under-side.

Looking for a portable computer similar to steam deck or rog ally for AR glasses
You can also buy a framework mainboard. It’s basically the motherboard of a laptop without screen, keyboard and trackpad.

How I feel about framework
And I don't mean ideologically, though that's good too. Their top end AMD Ryzen 7 main board upgrade kit is $700 and that's what you'd pay for a mid range business laptop. Add $40 for a mainboard case which basically gets you a new computer and it's not a bad deal at all.

5000€ Laptop from 2007
What I don't get about your comments is that you're opposing upgradeability and repairability, when it's really just the same concept stretched further: instead of there being one spare part for anything that can break in a given model, you have multiple tiers for parts that effectively make the laptop more of a modular series than a single model, like Framework does. And to answer your question from a further comment, you can indeed upgrade to a later gen mainboard, in fact you can even go AMD.

PC form factors (concept)
If you are still looking for a place to start you should check out framework's github. They have a bunch of 3d models already designed. You can modify them and framework even has a process to submit possible upgrades for their designs. https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13

Review: Framework's Laptop 16 is unique, laudable and flawed
There is potential for an external battery. It doesn't exist yet, but the connector supports power going from the expansion bay to the laptop[0], so someone could build a battery module or potentially even a hot-swappable adapter to use a removable battery for a more common laptop.

Framework Laptop 16 pre-orders are now open
We've designed the Expansion Bay module system to be able to handle power bi-directionally. One of the main reasons for this was to enable secondary batteries. This specific module isn't something we've shared any plans around, but it's something that either we or a third party would be able to build.

- Question about FW 16

I'm feeling unsure
According to the spec doc on their github, the gpu rail, while on AC, caps out at 10.5A @ 20V (allthoug that is the peak burst cueewnt, max sustained is not mentioned but is likely slightly lower), so we will likely eventually see some higher wattsge GPUs over time, especially give. The headroom between the 175W max burst draws we see from top end laptop chips today and a 210w limit. Thermals will liley be more of a concern than power at that point tho.(https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionBay/blob/main/Electrical/README.md)

Framework Laptop 16 Deep Dive: 180W Power Adapter
I don't think anybody outside Framework knows for sure yet (maybe not even internally) but my impression from what they've shared so far is that the expansion bays are intended to be very easily swappable (external, a click & push kind of thing) but probably not hot-swappable while the machine is powered on.
They do have some initial specs at https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionBay that somebody more knowledgeable than me might be able to glean some practical info from.

Framework 16 GPU connection
According to the Framework Github (https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionBay/tree/main/Electrical) expansion bay modules (e.g. second battery or GPU) are connected via two 74-pin connectors.

Framework Laptop Cupholder Expansion Card
Framework is doing brilliant work. They create reusable computer formats that anyone can hack against. Strongly considering a Framework 13 as my next computer.

This $39 Cooler Master case turns your old Framework Laptop parts into a tiny PC
I know it's niche but it would be cool if they could attach an expanded battery pack into its expansion module.
- Thank you for Framework

framework 16 power limit? no charging port seen
Mybad, according to https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionBay/tree/Main/Electrical ,the maximum wattage with the 'high power adapter' is 20v*10.5A which suggests 210w max for the entire device.
