Framework Laptop 12 is a cheaper, more colorful take on a repairable laptop PC
At a product event today, the company showed off what it called "an early preview" of its third laptop design, the convertible, budget-focused Framework Laptop 12.
This addition to Framework's lineup centers on a 12.2-inch, 1920×1200 convertible touchscreen that flips around to the back with a flexible hinge, a la Lenovo's long-running Yoga design.
The first #Framework Laptop 12 motherboard is going to use Intel's 13th-generation Core i3 and i5 processors, originally launched back in late 2022. It supports up to 48GB of DDR5-5200 (implying just a single DDR5 RAM slot).
The company hopes to begin preorders in April and to begin shipping the laptop in mid-2025.
