This isn't really an upgrade, just bare minimum because 5070 8GB version is a pure rip-off scam garbage.
Limited vram makes this card suitable only for FHD gaming and completely unsuitable for any AI-based applications.

I assume buyers are becoming smarter and smarter and less willing to fall for vram scams. Just imagine buying a laptop and another brand is pushing down your throat yet another expensiv$$$$$ new gen processor witn premium too many cores and a practically useless integrated gpu and on top of it there is an 8vram gpu that will choke in 1440p and isn't suitable for AI/LLM even at entry level.

Indeed, finally?

Good, but make it up to 128 GB RAM (Framework laptops may support up to 128 GB RAM, see their community forums posts).

5070 Laptop: 128-bit bus width.
5070 desktop: 192-bit bus width (50% higher bandwidth and 50% faster,  but many games at settings where 8 GB VRAM becomes the limit, would run much better if 12 GB VRAM was available).

128-bit/32-bit per chip = 4 GDDR7 chips, each 2 GB = 8 GB VRAM.
192-bit/32-bit per chip = 6 GDDR7 chips, each 2 GB = 12 GB VRAM.
128-bit/32-bit per chip = 4 GDDR7 chips, each 3 GB = 12 GB VRAM.

So is this finally 12 GB VRAM on a 128-bit bus (using the 3 GB GDDR7 density chips instead of the current 2 GB)? Current 12 GB VRAM gaming laptops are mostly big and heavy (and the ones who are not are even more expensive, but they can be more loud because the chassis is smaller (there's no free launch)).

Can't believe it, did strix halo (and soon PTL 12 Xe3 core igpu whenever that becomes more widely available) which has almost no marketshare force Nvidia to release mobile dgpu with more than 8 GB vram?

Or is this a sign the bubble ending soon?
