We're pretty happy with the display. At a little over 200 PPI, it is basically just over the edge of "retina" where pixels aren't visible at normal viewing distance, while being less power-hungry than a 4k panel. We off

We designed our mainboard system to be able upgradeable to future CPU platforms. We have nothing we can share around that today, but it's a core part of the product!

Thanks! We are developing an Ethernet Expansion Card. Due to the size of the receptacle and magnetics required, it'll bump out rather than being flush like the other cards, but still more convenient than an external dongle.

Thanks! We wanted to make the it a really easy choice, and didn't want anyone to have to pay more for a longer-lasting product.

Thanks! We actually do have a clear keyboard design ( https://youtu.be/XFrJcjCbCA8?t=1005 ) which we'll be making available later this summer. We've prototyped a transparent bezel too, but aren't happy with t

Preloading a Linux distro is something we may do in the future. We've made the DIY Edition super easy to set up though for folks who don't want Windows in the meantime.

We support USB4 on all four ports. We can't state anything about Thunderbolt compatibility until we complete certifications around it.

We manufacture subassemblies and most modules in China with final assembly in Taiwan. In typical consumer notebooks, batteries, hinges, ports, and keyboards would be parts that wear out over time. We've designed the Framework Laptop t

We've designed the mainboard (with CPU) to be upgradeable. Since the storage, memory, ports, and WiFi are socketed, that reduces the cost of the mainboard by itself.

We offer a pretty standard 1-year limited warranty. Extended warranties are something we are exploring, but are not available yet.

Thanks! On Linux, we dogfood on Ubuntu LTS and Fedora, and have a pre-release unit with the Fedora team. We'll be publishing more detailed compatibility results soon, but it looks good. We're definitely having some back end issu

Thanks for your patience! We're upgrading infrastructure further, but the website is very much still struggling under the load. On that note, we're hiring a Backend Engineer if anyone is interested! https://jobs.lever

We dogfood regularly on Ubuntu LTS and Fedora, and we've been working with the team at Fedora (and have provided them a pre-release unit). In general, the only issue we foresee in the near term is that the fingerprint reader likely wo

We'll be opening up ordering in Europe and Asia before the end of the year. Thanks for your patience (hopefully)!

The website is back up! We're at almost exactly the same thickness and weight as a MacBook Pro 13-inch, and lighter and thinner than most T-series ThinkPads. The storage, both memory sockets, and WiFi are socketed for upgradeability, a

We're committing to making compatible parts available. Part of how we're doing this is continuing to use this design and architecture going forward for the foreseeable future. This means that as we continue to refresh the specs

Just a note that the Base configuration that starts at $999 is also a quad core, the i5-1135G7. The i7-1185G7 is really only necessary if you need vPro for enterprise fleet management reasons (we also have a i7-1165G7 SKU for folks who wan

That is Samsung's MO, but it hasn't worked especially well with Exynos in the past. Part of it is that Samsung SLSI doesn't have the kind of support structure that Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Mediatek, or even RockChip have to ena

Definitely a fair concern, and thanks for reporting the issue. We're now working on moving to only using links on domains we control.

The Framework Laptop DIY Edition comes with no OS installed, so you can bring your own. We're working with a couple of popular distributions on compatibility checks and updates. The pre-built Framework Laptops do come with Windows 10

Thanks! Having a great looking and great feeling product was tablestakes for us. We didn't want people to have to choose between usability and modularity.

We did have an error on one of the email links, but it's worth noting that we (and perhaps also Carta, among others) use Klaviyo for these emails, and klclick is one of their domains.

That is right! We're committed to offering upgrade mainboards. We follow CPU roadmaps closely and keep in contact with the companies you would expect to be necessary for that.

We really did build this in part as a reaction to the historically modular and repairable notebooks becoming decreasingly so. Even the former standard-bearer for upgradeability, the ThinkPad T4xx (now T14) series no longer has two SO-DIMM

It's surprisingly, but there are exceedingly few 13-14" notebooks still in the market with socketed memory, and especially not with both channels socketed. The same goes for WiFi, though at least storage is still socketed on most
