Fix Consumer
Electronics

We’re here to remake consumer electronics to respect people and the planet. Unlike most products, ours are open for you to repair, customize, upgrade, and own at the deepest level.

Consumer electronics is broken. We’ve all had the experience of a broken screen or connector, worn out battery, bloated, locked-down software, or filled up storage forcing replacement of an otherwise workable product. Individually, this is irritating; globally though, it’s much worse. We create over fifty million tons of e-waste each year. That’s 6kg or 13lb per person on earth per year, made up of our former devices.

It doesn’t have to be this way. These are solvable problems when products are designed from the start to last longer and respect your rights. The conventional wisdom is that making products repairable, open, and modular makes them thicker, heavier, uglier, less robust, and more expensive. We’re proving that wrong and fixing consumer electronics, one category at a time. Our philosophy is that by trusting you with the access and information you need to truly own your products, we can make fantastic devices that are still easy to repair and open to customization across both the hardware and the software.

Every computer we ship comes with the only tool you need to replace any part of it in the box. We offer both ready-to-go, pre-assembled versions and our DIY Editions where you can bring your own memory, storage, and OS, including your preferred Linux distro. We also release as much of our work as we can under open source licenses, with hardware documentation, 3D printable designs, and open source firmware available on GitHub.

2020

We started in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2020, with a team bringing in experience from Oculus, Apple, Lenovo, and other electronics companies. We quickly set up an office in Taiwan as well in the heart of the PC manufacturing industry.

2021

In 2021, we launched and started shipping our first product, Framework Laptop 13. This was and is proof that it’s possible to build a high-performance, thin, light laptop that is completely modular and repairable. Our friends (and later investors) at Linus Tech Tips shared one of the earliest reviews championing our philosophy. We’ve since shipped a large number of generational updates and a wide range of modules and customization parts for Framework Laptop 13, each of which is backwards compatible with the original, proving the longevity and upgradeability

2022

In 2022, we first delivered on the promise of upgradeability with a generational upgrade for Framework Laptop 13, going from 11th Gen Intel Core to 12th Gen Intel Core. We also announced a Series A investment from Spark and other investors, fueling our next stage of growth.

2023

In 2023, we scaled our product lineup massively. We added a highly-anticipated AMD-powered option to Framework Laptop 13 alongside a new Intel generation. We also entered our second category with Framework Laptop 16, a high-performance 16” laptop with fully hot-swappable input and upgradeable graphics.

2024

In 2024, we continued to deliver on upgradeability with another generation of Framework Laptop 13. We also raised a new round of funding to fuel further expansion.

2025

In 2025, we made our biggest set of launches yet, introducing not just new generations of Framework Laptop 13 and 16, but also two new product lines. Framework Laptop 12 is proof that computers don’t have to be boring: a 12.2” 360 degree convertible with stylus support, available in 5 colorways. Framework Desktop is a performance monster in a tiny package, delivering both gaming and machine learning capabilities.

Where we are and where we manufacture

We’re headquartered in San Francisco, with a second office in Taipei. Most of our manufacturing is in Taiwan as well, and we have warehouses in Taiwan, the US, and the Netherlands.
