Recently,Intelresearchers published ablog postthat points to a more modular and sustainable future for laptops and mini PCs.
The drive for sustainable PC design appears to partner with the right to repair movement.
This would mean that anyone could find components and tools to repair or upgrade their laptop.
How does Intel’s proposal work?
The company also proposes a similar redesign for mini-PC, again separating various components into modules.
These changes include removable CPU and GPU chips, hot-swappable storage and even repairable Thunderbolt modules.
One thing that would need to be fought against here is how components are installed.
When could we see this future?
Unfortunately, probably not for a while.
Instead, it would need to be adapted in agreements with Intel partners likeDellorAsus.
