I spent two weeks with the Framework Laptop 12 and this repairable 2-in-1 is my new compact daily driver
The Framework Laptop 12 brings the company’s signature repairable formula to a versatile 2-in-1 built for life on the go.
The Framework Laptop 12 is a 2-in-1 convertible laptop that offers repairability and upgradeability. It can be bought pre-assembled or built yourself, and comes pre-loaded with Linux. The laptop is highly portable and easy to repair, with a comfortable keyboard and touchscreen. Choosing the DIY option allows for customization of ports, memory, storage, and even the operating system, while pre-built options come with Fedora Linux or Windows pre-installed.
The laptop is compatible with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and has a 2MP camera. Priced from $699 for the pre-built model to $1,300 for top-tier configurations, DIY options start at $549. The laptop offers versatile ports, easy assembly, and strong Linux support. However, its glossy display and webcam are not top-notch, and the stylus is sold separately.
