We tell the detailed story on the product pages: https://frame.work/products/laptop We've built a 13.5" notebook where every part of the hardware is replaceable or upgradeable by the end user. That includes

We'll be announcing pricing at the time we open pre-orders. This really is a pre-pre-order blog post that we very much did not expect to see on HN! It's more a heads up to folks who are currently on our email list that they can r

I get where you're coming from on this, but from a design and manufacturing perspective, it isn't correct. Fairphone has published a pretty extensive lifecycle analysis of their latest device that details the environmental impact

It’s unlikely there was collusion around app store commissions. It’s more likely a case of “how much can we get away with charging?” and existing competitors in market providing a proof point of what is palatable to developers. That is a s

I think the sci-fi end state is an interstellar civilization that exists largely to grow an ever-expanding system of Dyson Spheres, harnessing entire stars solely to fuel proof-of-work cryptocurrencies.

We use the same panel dimensions and resolutions as the 13.5" Surface Laptop and the same Tiger Lake CPUs. Beyond that though, we have 1.5mm key travel vs 1.3mm on the Surface Laptop, four configurable ports supporting USB 4 instead o

Intel tried and failed at jelly beans at least once in recent history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark I'm not sure that is a worthwhile segment for them to try to compete in though. It's high mix,

As someone who spent five years in Facebook doing hardware after an acquisition, my advice is to save enough to be comfortable and then apply your passion and knowledge to a startup doing something you believe is worthwhile. Worst case if

It’s fairly expensive to develop and pay for tooling on an entirely new notebook. It’s relatively inexpensive to start with a whitelabel design from Clevo or Tongfang instead and leverage the existing tooling and validation work.

It was on the long list of product categories we explored from a distance for our roadmap. It's not a category we're going to enter any time soon, but we did at least get a blog post out of it! In addition to not having the ecosy

Great feedback. We will definitely at minimum post guides and compatibility test results for the most popular distros and ensure that at least Ubuntu LTS has a straightforward path to full hardware functionality.

We'd love to see that too! The Dasung 13.3" is actually sized just about right to be able to mod into our lid assembly. It's probably not a thing that we'll do ourselves, but it would be great to see someone try it.

The bezel around the display is magnetic-attach and we'll be offering a range of colors for it.

A controller just became available that makes this more doable. It is something we're exploring to broaden the usability of the Expansion Cards.

We were pleasantly surprised too! It's great to see the interest, and we can't want to get it out there.

We do plan to offer Dvorak, Workman, and Colemak keyboards. In a normal laptop, it would never really be feasible to do this because you'd be sitting on a lot of really niche, expensive inventory. In our case, the input assembly is o

Full-size SD was actually what we intended to accommodate when we set the dimensions of the Expansion Card. We started with MicroSD/UFS Card though because it allowed us to keep tooling in common with our other cards. We would like t

We've designed the Framework Laptop for end-user motherboard swaps from CPU platform to CPU platform. We minimized the cost of that move by keeping the memory, storage, and WiFi socketed.

No need to worry! Our Windows pre-install is vanilla. The only software added is the set of drivers strictly needed to make the hardware function.

This is correct. There’s nothing technical preventing us from offering a pre-built bring your own OS system, but we figured there’s high overlap between that audience and those who want to assemble a kit themselves. This reduces the amoun
