Framework Laptop DIY Edition review

 

Repairable, upgradeable - this is a Framework that works

Easy to open and replace parts ; Excellent desktop performance ; High build quality

No replacement parts - yet? ; Expensive to get started ; Can be noisy

Framework Laptop review: A functional and futureproof 13 inches

 

A poster child for the right-to-repair movement, Framework's modular laptop is one of the smartest designs I've seen in a long time.

Almost completely configurable and upgradable ; Smart and functional design ; Practically no performance sacrifices ; 1,080-pixel, 60 frame per second webcam with camera and mic shutters ; Opens 180 degrees

Looks relatively generic ; No Thunderbolt 4 yet

Framework Laptop review: Let the laptop disruption begin

 

With its fully modular internals, the Framework Laptop is a wake-up call to the rest of the industry. But is it actually a laptop worth buying?

“The Framework Laptop is more than just worthwhile experiment in modularity, it's also a great laptop.”

Framework Laptop Review

 

A unique notebook PC with admirable goals, the Framework Laptop is built from the ground up to be user-upgradable and sustainable for the long term, letting you swap out almost every part and keep your laptop for years.

Concept is reliant on long-term company support ; DIY aspect may be intimidating for less-savvy laptop users

Framework Laptop review: pick your ports

 

It looks exciting, but will it hold up?

Uniquely friendly to user upgrades ; 3:2 display ; 1080p webcam with physical shutter

Somewhat flimsy ; No screen or GPU upgrades available ; You just never know with these things

The new Framework Laptop is designed to be a DIY dream. Not only are its internal components like RAM, storage, and mainboard replaceable, but users can also customize the bezels, keyboard, and ports.

Framework laptop review: This DIY laptop wants you to take it apart and repair it

 

You can finally buy a laptop that's easy to repair and upgrade

You can repair and upgrade it! ; Lovely 3:2 aspect ratio screen

Costs more than brand-name laptops ; A little generic in appearance

We have never started a review by taking a laptop apart, ripping its motherboard out, and then putting it back together and testing it. That’s because we would never expect a product to endure that without malfunctioning. That’s just not how laptops...
