Yes, decent iGPU. But no on an external GPU in the back since this is for the 13" which has no modular bay for internal GPU (They mean a USB4 -> PCIe dock for the external GPU).

There IS a 16" coming that will let you plugin a dedicated GPU.

I will probably order this (or it's next version) one for my machine in 18 - 30 months since mine is only ~6 months old.

edit: and apologies if I mis-understood or am being pedantic

You can plug in an eGPU with this.

From the post:

> If you want to use an eGPU, you can do that too! This is because the Framework Laptop 13 with Ryzen™ 7040 Series processors has two fully capable USB4 ports, with the back left and back right Expansion Cards slots.

Right, that's exactly what they said

Unless the Mobo doesn't support it, you should be able to use external GPU's even with Ryzen
