So far the company is off to a great start, having launched the laptop with 11th-gen Intel processors in 2021 and followed through with mainboard upgrades for 12th-gen processors in 2022. But the Framework Laptop has hours less battery life than our top ultrabook pick, and the ability to upgrade and repair it down the line depends on the company continuing to exist and to supply parts. ![]() It’s sturdy and surprisingly thin and light for how modular its design is, and it has a reliable keyboard and trackpad plus a bright and spacious display. And the Framework Laptop is an excellent computer, too. You can add more memory and storage, but you can also replace the battery, upgrade the mainboard with a new processor, or repair anything else if it breaks-the display, the fingerprint reader, the keyboard, the hinge, you name it. Each part and screw is helpfully labeled, along with handy QR codes that direct you to step-by-step replacement guides that also contain links to the exact parts you’ll need. 3D sketching still sucks, and I cant even dimension path length as a workaround for the missing belt/chain feature. I appreciate that they charge for the extensions à la carte, but nowhere in those extensions are super basic features like weldments or belt/chain. ![]() ![]() Why we like this one: Every part of the Framework Laptop is super easy to repair and upgrade, and Framework makes all of its parts available to purchase on its website. The new price for Fusion 360, with all of its extensions, is US9600 (MSRP).
