Overview

Framework focuses on creating modular laptops that prioritize sustainability and repairability. Their main products, the Framework Laptop 13 and Laptop 16, allow users to upgrade and customize components, such as processors from Intel and AMD, instead of replacing the entire device. This design helps extend the lifespan of laptops and reduces electronic waste, addressing the issue of disposable electronics. Unlike many competitors, Framework encourages users to keep their devices longer by offering upgradeable parts and lower prices on older models, fostering a community around their ecosystem. The goal is to provide consumers who value sustainability and customization with a practical solution for their computing needs.
