Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition review: my new favorite Chromebook
Yes, it's a thousand bucks. Wait, hear me out!
Fully repairable, customizable, and upgradable ; Solid performance on Chrome OS ; 3:2 display is great ; Sustainably and ethically manufactured
Undeniably expensive for a Chromebook ; Battery life could be a bit better
While it's undeniably quite expensive, the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition delivers a top-notch Chrome laptop experience with a solid design, good performance, and a brilliant commitment to user repairability and customization.

Framework Laptop 13 (2025) review: getting better with age
Framework's Laptop 13 continues its reign as the modular, upgradable, repairable notebook champion. And it now offers faster AMD Ryzen AI 300-series chips.
The Framework Laptop 13 is a proven platform now. The fates of the company’s upcoming Desktop and budget 12-inch laptop are less clear. Will they be enduring hits like the Laptop 13 despite ongoing tariff chaos ? Or will they be ongoing, unproven...

Framework Laptop 13 (2023) Review
With its new 13th Gen Intel mainboard, the latest Framework Laptop 13 is a smarter buy than ever. Its sustainable, upgradable design promises that upgrading it down the line will cost a fraction of buying new.

Review: Framework Laptop 13 (2023)
This upgradable PC is one of the best you can buy.
User repairable/upgradable with DIY build options. Much-improved battery life. Excellent matte, 3:2 screen. Linux-friendly. Expandable, hot-swappable port system.
Pricey for the specs.

Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition Review
The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition puts a Google spin on the company's signature repairable, modular design. The result? One of the most capable, customizable ChromeOS notebooks you can buy.

Framework Laptop 13 review: Build your own laptop
Customizable, repairable, and upgradable ; Choose your own ports ; Detailed repair documentation ; Reasonable Core Ultra performance with solid build quality ; A physical mic shutoff switch
On the expensive side for the specs ; Not the best battery life, especially compared to Snapdragon laptops
The Framework Laptop 13 is based on a compelling vision of a possible future, and some PC enthusiasts will love building, upgrading, and repairing their own laptop. But this isn’t the right machine for the average PC buyer.

Framework Laptop Review: Upending The Laptop Market - SlashGear
It would appear that Framework has figured out the right combination of elements that make a modular laptop a reality. But is it worth the cash?
Amazing upgradeability and repairability ; Modular ports for your personal needs ; Pre-built and DIY options ; Great performance for most ; Thin and light ; 13.5-inch 3:2 2256 x 1504 look great ; Fantastic keyboard
Battery life isn't great ; Fan gets quite loud ; Speakers are mediocre
