Read: Can Framework’s Repairable Laptop Succeed? It Already Has.
Background and Identification
Released in July of 2021, Framework’s debut to the laptop space takes shape as a 13.5” notebook with a direct focus on upgradability—and by proxy, repairability.
The Framework Laptop comes in two flavors: a buildable DIY Edition or a fully-assembled unit. The DIY Edition starts at $819 with the option to bring your own OS, SSD, Wi-Fi card, and/or RAM. If you want to spring for one fully assembled, pricing starts at $1,049.
Framework also supports running their motherboards outside of the chassis without a connected battery. In addition, Framework supplies official CAD plans for their motherboards on their official Github so that users can make their own cases to turn their laptops into small form factor desktop PCs.
