Discover the latest 12-inch laptop from Framework, offering a fun and rugged design with modular and repairable features. With swappable ports, expandable memory, and customizable options, this laptop is perfect for those looking for a versatile and durable machine. Available in a range of colors and configurations, the Framework Laptop 12 is a compact and affordable choice for everyday tasks.
The modular and repairable PC maker Framework’s latest machine is a fun 12in laptop with a touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge, moving into the 2-in-1 category. It supports innovative expansion cards for port swapping and allows easy internal component replacement. The Framework 12 is available in DIY form starting at £499 or prebuilt models from £749, making it the company’s most compact and affordable model.
The Laptop 12 is chunky and rugged, designed to meet MIL-STD-810 standards. It features a bright but reflective 12.2in screen, a variety of fun colours, and a 1080p webcam. The keyboard is spacious, the trackpad precise, but lacks biometrics. Specifications include Intel Core i3 or i5 processors, 8 or 16GB RAM, and up to 2TB storage.
The Laptop 12 offers modular ports, choice of processors, and customizable expansion cards. It delivers solid performance for everyday tasks but may struggle with processor-heavy jobs. Battery life lasts about 7-8 hours and supports fast charging. The laptop is sustainable with replaceable components and recycled plastic parts.
Prices start at £499 for the DIY version and £749 for prebuilt models. While the Laptop 12 excels in repairability and adaptability, its higher cost compared to closed machines may be a drawback for some users.
