When we buy a Dessert pcWe buy modular equipment, the equipment where we can replace all its components, processor At chartthrough the RAM memoryStorage, dissipators and motherboard among others.
However, when we buy equipment portable or mini pc, we buy equipment that has a expiration datewhere we can only develop RAM and storage. If the processor or even the graph, stop working, it is cheaper to buy new equipment than to take it to repair, as long as the technical service has the possibility of repairing it. It may also occur that the operating system is not compatible with the processor and cannot be updated, as has happened with Windows 11, an operating system which, to function, needs From a tpm chip yes or yes.
On the market, we can find manufacturers such as framework that allows users to design their laptops because they are Modular equipment Thus, the user can configure with the processor, RAM and the storage he wants and not have problems extending them.
Obviously, the main portable manufacturers are not willing to make the equipment extensible and easy to repair, as this would affect their sales, or at least they are involved by not having presented a proposal like that which Intel comes from 'announce.
Intel does not agree with the current design of laptops and minipcs and has proposed a conception of the way in which laptops should be: modular and easy to repair. This, moreover, would help reduce electronic waste from the equipment that has filled their life cycle and which, unfortunately, are not recycled, in most cases, of course.
What would be the ideal modular laptop for Intel?
Intel was not limited to saying how laptops should be, but has created its own design. This design would be formed by Three modules: Basic plate and two E / S modules. The E / S modules would be connected to the motherboard through a flexible printed circuit.
These modules could be used in all generations, which will allow manufacturers of laptops, not having to completely rethink their equipment when a new processor or GPU will be launched, which would allow them to update the processor and memory, storage, connectivity fleas and others very simple.
Intel not only presented the design of how laptops should be, but also mini-pcs This is nothing more than a small version of laptops who has the same limits when updating its components by being soldiers on the motherboard with the exception of RAM and internal storage.
The design proposed by Intel for the Mini-PC would also be formed by 3 modules: CPU, GPU and PCH. The latter would be responsible for connecting the CPU, the GPU and the rest of the PCIe components used. In this way, any user and even manufacturers could update the advantages of comfortable equipment and quickly when you need it.
