When Framework told me they were making a completely repairable laptop I assumed it would be a flimsy chonker... I've never been so happy to be wrong.

Got mine a few days ago. It's definitely the coolest thing I've ever owned. The trackpad is not great, but I'm literally not even concerned because when a new, better one comes out I can just .. swap it! It's so cool!

Orbis Pictus 9 saatler önce

@Ruslan Yefimov we can repair the electronic devices ourselves but this is getting different with the products that have come out recently as I don't think there're many company that still make repairable laptops (and other devices). Yes we can still fix some components, change some other things but that has become much more difficult. Most companies want us to buy new, not fix. Electronic devices have never been and may never be environmentally friendly, but we can reduce those impacts and that's what a lot of people are looking at with companies like framework.

Ruslan Yefimov 23 gün önce

You could initially buy a laptop with nice touchpad :D I don't know what people are talking about repairability, but when a HINGE ripped off from the screen on my first gaming laptop, I've just glued it back on epoxy and assembled back together.. I really don't understand what's so special about this "modular" laptop if when something really breaks, you can repair it by yourself most of the time. And it really doesn't matter how modular the laptop is. If you can't repair a normal laptop, the chances are, you won't be able to repair this one as well p.s. Even though, I prefer buying a top-tier laptop and just using it for a couple years before swapping on something completely different, being able to adjust RAM timings would be really nice..

My mother was a network engineer, I actually remember asking her well over twenty five years ago, why all computers didn’t do this, when it would be better for people and the environment, and I remember it partially because it was not only one of the few times in my childhood she just flat out could not come up with an answer for me, but she actually got kinda mad at me when I kept asking, and I wasn’t allowed to go to the computer camp we’d been checking out for summer. On a side note, if you can make the general keyboards changeable, could you not also make different types of specialty keyboards, such as dual screen or tablet screen, that could be subbed on to the bass chassis for persons such as artists, designers, and those in stem fields, who might need them?

My big thing (only halfway through the video so I don't know if they touched on it but) the packaging is amazing. The amount of products I order or buy off the shelf that wastes so much space. M.2 drives are insanely small yet come in boxes 3 times as wide and 4 times the thickness/depth. Those baby boxes for the interchangeable ports/drives are just great to see.

Kyle Reeping 6 aylar önce

To be fair, lots of things are packaged like this to prevent theft in retail stores (and they're too lazy to change it for online sales). I remember when large flash drives used to come in nearly 8.5x11" plastic packaging so people wouldn't steal them.

That's why i miss the early 2010's with goodies like Thinkpads or the Dell Precision lineup. Those PCs were modular AF and nearly everything was swappable, with the Dell even the graphis unit. I'm no boomer, but i am still so used to the trackpoint mouse, that even a huge 1-button trackpad or fancy new IPS/OLED still stand under the impact on my comfort working on one of these things.

Matteo Cristini Yıl önce

Yes! If they can make a keyboard with a trackpoint, most thinkpad enthusiasts might switch to framework considering the current Lenovo line-up. I know i would

make it a gaming laptop and it should be sucessful, that is if performance and pricing are on par with the competition. Heck I'd pay 20-30% more if the GPU was upgradeable.

Lucas Maizeray Yıl önce

I received my framework laptop some weeks ago. (I'm french) I was expecting a good device, but I am pleasantly surprised, it is more powerfull that expected. I have got a desktop pc with a good CPU and GPU for 3 or 4 years. In the CPU intensive tasks, like video editing and such, the framework is better and quicker at exporting those videos. Obviously the framework gets hotter (85°c approx.) and my desktop pc doesn’t overcome 60°c with a noctua air cooler. The lack of GPU makes it less performing in games and real time 3d work, but not as much as I thought. Even in big games, if I drop down the resolution and set the graphic parameters as « low » it work quite well. The screen, keyboard and trackpad are really great, the sound is OK not super powerfull but good. I have a macbook pro for my work and I have ever found the keyboard to be annoying to use. The trackpad is also quite « sticky », fingers don’t slide easily on the surface, the framework is way more enjoyable to use for me. The small form factor is so cool, even more with this tiny power supply. I think that it is a great device, with evolution and personalisation in mind at is core, and I hope that framework will continue on the long run, I am really happy to have get one !

Rosaria Yıl önce

This laptop is a must buy for me - everything flexed here is just worth spending my cash for. Hopefully this company succeeds and expands its components to allow for touch screen displays, and mobile GPUs like the 3050 Ti

I will absolutely buy one of these in the future if they put a good touchscreen with pen support and GPU in it! Really hoping that's their next step.

I've got one of these. It's a fantastic laptop, works OOTB with Linux, and the fact that I can get upgrades for an already awesome lappie going forward is amazing. Incidentally, it _does_ have intrusion detection, but as the first user, I have full control of it. Also, my first support purchase after buying it was a second power brick - it also charges my phone super-fast, and getting a good high-wattage USB-C charger is hard.

Owen Horn 2 aylar önce

Jamie Sylver Yıl önce

I am completely sold on Framework's laptops. Also for the high end specs I'm looking for its way cheaper than I ever thought. Going for roughly the same specs of other laptops Ive been looking for, its way cheaper, and upgradable too! As a tech enthusiast, I do think upgradable laptops are a must have, and if I'm honest, Ive been looking for a while.

Kyle Reeping 6 aylar önce

Yeah I did the same thing as you, I compared prices and when compared to things like dell or lenovo.... the price is near identical. Of course it's not as cheap as the "cheap brands" that use worse parts, but what do you expect? I ordered one immediately.

Matthew Trebs 7 gün önce

Update: almost 2 years later they're more upgradable than ever. They now support amd 7000 and intel 13th gen motherboards to swap, and louder speakers, bigger battery upgrade, a matte screen option, and theyre dropping a 16 inch with even more customization

I watched this again after videos of Apple product repair. I love the fact that their team consists ex-Apple engineers. I am in the market for a new laptop and this is top of the list. I stretch the life of my computers well beyond what is expected or reasonable, so nice to upgrade a little more often than a decade for a laptop. I am of the 0.0001% of the population that uses the TrackPoint, my IT department was shocked with my request for a replacement cap. Would love to this as an option on a keyboard, as they are vanishing from most on the market I have seen.

Framework has chassis intrusion sensors. The difference is they don't lock you out of your device, just let you (or an admin) know that your laptop was opened and, if you didn't consent to that, you should check into that.

Imagine if they made the website into a similar concept as Steam, but for computer parts for the laptop. Anyone who comes up with legit good ideas for the computer could put it directly onto the website, meaning they could more easily get publicity for it, while also framework could take a little bit of the cut. I feel that could greatly encourage a good community around the laptop, people making parts that work well, or make it look cooler. And the people who get to upgrade to whatever parts they want that are created

Interesting concept, but most of these things can be replaced fairly easily in most laptops, so long as you avoid the ones with soldered on ram. The expansion cards seem to be pretty basic as just USB c connectors for storage or things like HDMI ports. it's not like you can upgrade the CPU/gpu, which is the biggest thing holding back an old laptop. I've never had a laptop die before those components began to feel slow and dated.

@philip lubduck yeah no kidding. I'd love to see them able to replace the Mobo as well so you can stay up to date with that too! Maybe have have compatibility with external GPU for casual gamers! I think toughbook did that a while back with an actual gpu shield. Either way, I'd buy!

A little larger screen and a spacious chassis than this with motherboard/CPU/GPU upgradability would just start the trend of “Modular Upgradable Laptops” - That would be insanely good

One of my first Notebooks i got in a Company was the Toshiba Tecra S1. I really loved that notebook becaus it had a swappable HDD slot and CD/DVD slot. Due to my work and the incompatibility between certain Software and Windows at the same installation it was just perfect. I went to one Plant and used the Whole System one the 1 HDD and on another Plant with different Hardware the 2nd one. It just would cost me a minute to swap and start the notebook again. even upgrading to bigger HDD was as easy as loosing 1 screw. I always have been wondering why nobody is actually building such systems.

I love what they're trying to do. Hopefully by next year they come out with options for a solid 17" gaming laptop, I'd throw down on that for an upgrade. (I cross the pond too much to rely on a desktop)

If desktops become a bigger hurdle to get, this just might take the cake as an alternative.

Wow, this looks great. Keeps kids and ppl interested in building and understanding devices. Does upgrading components drive down the price of components, or is the industry changing too fast that it's more profitable to sell a shiny black box? Perhaps supply chain shortages will revamp interest in getting individual components instead of waiting for a whole laptop. Having x86 and ARM/RISC options sounds interesting. Hope they succeed.

I have a gaming laptop that I was lucky enough to upgrade the RAM and SSD without doing something wrong. Lol. Don't know much about the insides or if this company has one already but I'd definitely ditch my current laptop for one if they had one powerful enough for gaming since that's what my gaming laptop is mostly used for. Hope this company is here to stay. This is definitely a change then the standard laptops that you pretty much buy and ditch after they get old and slow 😁🤣

I honestly just hope that they progressively make new components instead of making one batch of upgrades for the model and then abandoning it and making a completely different model. *cough, cough* Fairphone... I had so much faith in that company and talked it up so much just to be let down. fingers crossed frameworks is diff. Here's rooting for the underdog.

I want a 12th gen one of these so bad but I just can't morally justify the cost at this time considering I can get a 12700h with a 3070 for a bit cheaper. I know they're are for a totally different user and I would be willing to accept that but given the poor battery life of the framework it hard to again justify it against other opter like a Dell xps 13. I would also really love to see a model come with a few extra ports like a basic USB A and or C integrated amd then have the 4 expansion alots the little I O is a hard pill to swallow

having now got a framework laptop i have to say even though i got the preassembled version (ironically the config i wanted was cheaper that way by about £30) i'm really enjoying this laptop so far. the build quality feels premuim and well done and its 13.5 inch screen is the perfect middle ground for a student like myself who needs portability as well as performance. side note: having held the expansion cards in my hand i was surprised at how small they were and how big they look in linuses hand as compared to mine.

I mean... I have met a lot of people who bought laptop because it is replaceable. To be honest, as a techy guy, I really like the idea, but on the other side, I don't see there will be a lot of people will buy this. It really needs heavy marketing to convice "peasant" to buy some unknown brand. And those marketing costs a lot of money. That's why the laptop has reasonable price. And until this laptop has user upgradrable GPU, I won't see anyperson who will upgrade their CPU that much

Clasic Man yeah because spending 800$ to replace a whole screen because of a badly designed cable makes more sense? True story MacBook 2016-2018.

They should try to work with environmental groups. More connections would mean that they would have better longevity. And those are the perfect groups to target. Next would be education groups.

The concept is awesome! I will definitely look intos this if they start producing 15" - 17" with more (maybe 6) module slots and if they put gpus in it so you can use it for gaming.

i bought a gaming laptop because I wanted a desktop replacement that I could carry with me when needed, so it's powerful enough to do other things like programming or whatever. But I am seriously considering getting a framework laptop and putting linux on it to use specifically for programming and computer hardware tinkering. plus these would be awesome for schools/universities to have as upgradable and fixable, rather than the macbooks/surfaces that last a year before being destroyed by kids and needing to be disposed

This is really cool but it only really excels in allowing for easy repairs. It could be a great product if they also looked at the accessibility standpoint like having a braille or raised keyboard, or being able to swap out the keyboard entirely for an adaptive game controller. Bluetooth and NFC/RFID reader/writer expansion cards. Something similar to a touch bar on a Macbook. It's a cool concept but it just seems like it's too early to buy.

This reminds me a little bit of the printable laptop project... This is also why I like mobos and CPU’s that have undervolting/underclocking so you can get it to a laptop grade TDP with a smaller/low profile cooler There needs to be upgradeable motherboards or CPU’s. And an external GPU This is the “Professionally Polished” version of what I’d like to do, which is basically a fork of the printed “pi-top”, just with a ready made screen and better SOC. I’m glad they will Eventually include ARM SOC’s and RISC-V. That’s Also The Reason Nvidia Needs to be Allowed to buy ARM. Nvidia has been a contributing member of the Consortium for Years, and would Love to be able to attach their GPU’s to more CPU customers, rather than just Intel or AMD...
