The Framework Laptop is a laptop computer designed and manufactured by Framework Computer, an American startup. Initially announced in January 2021, the product was released through a preordering system in May of that year.^[1]^[2] Designed to be easily disassembled and upgraded, electronics right to repair advocates such as Louis Rossmann and iFixit have praised the laptop's modularity and repairability.^[3]^[4]

Design

Reception

Gizmodo was critical of the laptop's performance and the lack of a dedicated graphics card. In their tests, the Framework Laptop trailed behind competitors in CPU preformance benchmarks such as Geekbench, while battery life was significantly lower than other laptops such as the M1-powered MacBook Air. They also noted that the laptop's cooling system was suboptimal, the chassis being "too hot to touch" at some points while the fans were "loud enough to become a noisy distraction".^[5]
