Framework Laptop review: Let the laptop disruption begin

 

With its fully modular internals, the Framework Laptop is a wake-up call to the rest of the industry. But is it actually a laptop worth buying?

“The Framework Laptop is more than just worthwhile experiment in modularity, it's also a great laptop.”

Framework Laptop 13 (AMD) review: buy this one — if you can

 

The competition between Intel and AMD is a tale as old as time. And here, in the unobtrusive and unsuspecting Framework Laptop 13, that competition comes to a head. Because, for the first time, this modular 13-inch machine allows you to fully swap an...

User-repairable in every aspect ; DIY kit offers endless customizability ; Excellent keyboard ; Light and compact ; Stronger performance than Intel option

You’ll have to wait a while ; Generic look ; Not as sturdy as some 13-inch competitors ; Ports require a bit more thought than they do on the Intel model

Now, the bad news: the wait isn’t over. Intel Framework systems are currently shipping “within five business days,” per Framework’s website. Ryzen models just have a “Ships Q4” label slapped on them. We are currently in Q4, so I guess they could ship...

Framework Laptop Review

 

A unique notebook PC with admirable goals, the Framework Laptop is built from the ground up to be user-upgradable and sustainable for the long term, letting you swap out almost every part and keep your laptop for years.

Concept is reliant on long-term company support ; DIY aspect may be intimidating for less-savvy laptop users

Framework Laptop review: pick your ports

 

It looks exciting, but will it hold up?

Uniquely friendly to user upgrades ; 3:2 display ; 1080p webcam with physical shutter

Somewhat flimsy ; No screen or GPU upgrades available ; You just never know with these things

The new Framework Laptop is designed to be a DIY dream. Not only are its internal components like RAM, storage, and mainboard replaceable, but users can also customize the bezels, keyboard, and ports.

Framework laptop review: This DIY laptop wants you to take it apart and repair it

 

You can finally buy a laptop that's easy to repair and upgrade

You can repair and upgrade it! ; Lovely 3:2 aspect ratio screen

Costs more than brand-name laptops ; A little generic in appearance

We have never started a review by taking a laptop apart, ripping its motherboard out, and then putting it back together and testing it. That’s because we would never expect a product to endure that without malfunctioning. That’s just not how laptops...

Framework Laptop 13.5 Ryzen 7 7840U review: So much better than the Intel version

 

The AMD Zen 4 U-series platform makes the Intel Core P-series look obsolete. Unless if you value one or two very specific Intel features, then the new AMD Framework should be a no-brainer for most users. Users have been clamoring for an AMD version of...

excellent CPU and GPU performance ;high performance-per-watt ;long battery life ;USB4 support

the four USB-C ports are not created equal ;single-thread performance could be better ;fan is loud and tends to pulse ;still no new display options

If you value multi-thread performance and graphics, then the AMD configuration is without a doubt the superior choice over Intel. The Ryzen 7 7840U and Radeon 780M are better than any 13th gen Intel Core-U or Core-P processor when it comes to...

Framework Laptop 13 (Intel Core Ultra) review: Familiar formula, now with Core Ultra and a 2.8K display

 

Framework's CPU upgrade doesn't offer much more performance, but the 2.8K display option is great.

Repairability and configurability is unmatched ; New 120 Hz, 2880 x 1920 display option ; Pre-built and DIY configurations

2.8K display robs battery life ; Runs slightly warm and the fan is loud ; Backwards compatibility constraints limit the scope of future design changes ; Can get pricey with port and customization options

Framework continues to be the only game in town for true upgrades and modularity in the laptop world.

Framework Laptop Review: Modular, repairable, upgradeable laptop with a 12th-gen Intel Core processor - Liliputing

 

It's not often that a new company enters a highly competitive market and delivers something that truly stands out. But that's exactly what Framework did when the startup introduced its first laptop last year. It's a sleek, sturdy notebook with an...

Buying a thing and light laptop these days usually means picking a model with all the specs and features you want today, in hopes that it will still meet your needs in the years to come. But the Framework Laptop promises a different future, where it’s...
