It's amazing what engineers can do when they aren't told to deliberately make something as hard to repair as possible
-
After Apple and others made it almost impossible to repair anything it's great to see that manufacturers are finally coming back with repairability. Love it.
-
Big credit to Framework, they deserve a massive applause for prioritizing the costumers. Something that is really rare in the electronic market
-
Never thought I'd see the day when we would be fighting for the right to fix our own shit. 🤦♀️Kudos for this company and their repairable, upgradable laptop. Thank you! 👏👏
-
This company needs to be supported. We should want all laptop makers to follow this example.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The 16 inch version is going to be an INSTANT buy for me once pre-orders begin! I can't wait to support a company who actually supports right-to-repair!
-
My laptop is slow so I was planning on upgrading my laptop. But when I saw how hard it was I just gave up on it. Seeing that there's a laptop that is easy to change parts makes me want to buy one. Also including the QR code instructions on the parts is a really great help for a newbie like me.
-
If this laptop selling company allows laptop buyers to buy individual items and can choose them depending on the money thye have and assemble them all at home, this will really be game changer, in the laptop industry. and it's starting to feel as fun as building a PC
-
With all of the appliance-like laptops Apple and now even Dell are moving to, this laptop stands out as a true middle finger to those OEMs. Yes, it shows you can make a laptop that's modern and yet has full modularity and upgradability and even can work if something does unfortunately happen to Framework. I wish I could invest in their company too...
-
This is a middle finger to all the anti right-to-repair and planned obsolescence companies out there. I love it!
-
Reminds me of as you said, the early 2000s ease of upgradability in a world that continuously focuses on pushing difficult or non-upgradability. Happy to see Framework succeed and if I ever need a laptop, I know who I'm going to.
-
This is too cool! I hope Framework becomes a huge success and thrives in the laptop market!
-
Some more information about the laptop: - The USB ports are USB4, meaning they technically support most of the Thunderbolt 3 spec features. - If you don't need extra ports, you can populate some of the slots with 250GB or 1TB SSDs. - You need at least one USB-C port available for charging.
-
Single torx size for everything, under the hood QR codes for easy parts reference, swappable ports. I'm surprised even the screen is EASILY replaceable. I may support these guys, even if I don't really need a laptop. Also, I don't watch many Framework teardowns, but this one was very descriptive and easy to follow along. Awesome tinkering Hugh!🤙🏽
-
Many Thanks! We've been hoping for an assessment on the Framework laptop. This is very informative -- just what we needed!
-
Wow. That's a true customizable machine, would love to have one. Thanks for sharing, Hugh.
-
Everyone in tech needs to support this manufacturer. This type of upgradibility and flexibility is what we have all wanted at one point or another. Please, guys, as a community, we need to help this level of repairavility and upgradibility to become the norm. Support this company!
-
Wow, they actually made the ribbon cable that attaches the keyboard assembly long enough so you don't have to stand on your head, twist 180 degrees, and whistle Dixie! This unit looks really well thought out.
-
this tendency to repairability and upgradability in tech is amazing! Keep these products coming!
-
Man what a world we've come to when its shocking to have a product that doesn't fight you repairing it, and allows you to do what you want to a product you purchased for yourself.
