Framework's 10GbE Expansion Card Closes the Portability-Throughput Gap

Framework launched a 10G Ethernet Expansion Card for its modular laptops, delivering plug-and-play 10 Gb/s wired networking. The card arrives as NAS enclosures and Wi-Fi 6E/7 infrastructure have moved into prosumer territory, creating demand for laptop-based large-file transfer and local AI inference workloads that wireless cannot reliably serve. The modular design lets users add 10GbE only when needed, avoiding cost and heat penalties for those who don't.
