The Framework Laptop
Starting at $899.
The time has come for consumer electronics products that are designed to last, without sacrificing performance, quality, or style.
Modular & Upgradeable
We’ve built the Framework Laptop from the ground up to be upgradeable in ways that no other high-performance notebook is. In addition to adding memory and storage, you can choose the ports you want, customize the bezel color and keyboard language, and even upgrade your entire mainboard!
Easy to Repair
We made the Framework Laptop convenient and cost effective to keep working great for as long as you want it to. The only tool you need to swap any part of it is the screwdriver we include in the box, and we publish easy to follow repair guides and videos.
Thin & Light
Thoughtful design and a precision formed and milled aluminum housing enables repairability and upgradeability without adding bulk. Coming in at just 15.85mm thick and 1.3kg, the Framework Laptop delivers the modularity of a desktop in the form factor of a thin and light 13.5” notebook.

Expansion Cards
Make external adapters a thing of the past. The Framework Expansion Card system lets you choose exactly the ports you want and which side you want them on. With four bays, you can select from USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, MicroSD, ultra fast storage, and more.
USB-C
The default card, supporting USB4, 20V/5A charging, and DisplayPort Alt Mode for connecting monitors, all on either side of the notebook.
USB-A
Giving you access to the broad range of USB-A devices in the world at up to USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds.
HDMI
Supporting HDMI 2.0b, for up to four monitors and TVs at up to 4K 60Hz using four Expansion Cards.
DisplayPort
Supporting DisplayPort 1.4, for monitors up to 8k 60Hz resolution or up to four simultaneously at 4k 60Hz using four Expansion Cards.
MicroSD
Supporting MicroSD UHS-I cards as well as the new UFS Card standard for a huge performance improvements on read, write, and random access.
250GB or 1TB Storage
Ultra high speed storage, available in two capacities. With a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface supporting 1000 MB/s read rates and 375 MB/s and 1000 MB/s write rates for 250GB and 1TB respectively. Fast enough to run apps or even boot an operating system from. Small enough to pop out and take with you.
And more coming soon!
We have a variety of Expansion Cards in development including high end headphone amps, Arduino-compatible microcontrollers, and more. We’re also opening the spec and sharing reference designs to enable partners and the community to help grow the Expansion Card ecosystem.
Upgradeable High-Performance Mainboard
Available in three configurations of Intel 11th Gen Core i5 and i7 processors, offering fantastic performance, great power efficency, PCIe 4.0, and Intel’s new Xe Graphics, delivering a massive leap over previous generations. Even better, the Framework Laptop is the only high-performance notebook with a replaceable mainboard that lets you upgrade to new CPU generations if you ever need a boost in the future.²
Maximum Performance, Minimum Noise
We’ve designed the thermal system in the Framework Laptop to handle 28W continuous processor load³. By making space for an unusually large 65mmx5.5mm cooling fan and carefully designing our airflow paths, we’ve done this without sacrificing quietness. Our dual 5mm heatpipes and copper fin pack allows the CPU to run up to 60W turbo³. We’ve also enabled multiple power profiles in Windows 10 to allow you to choose and adjust your preferred balance of performance, silence, and battery life.

Load up on Memory & Storage
The Framework Laptop comes in pre-built configurations with up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage. We use Western Digital’s SN730 SSDs to deliver 3,400 MB/s read speeds with great power efficiency. With two SO-DIMM sockets and one M.2 2280 socket, all models are upgradeable to an insane 64GB of memory and 8TB of storage.
Operating system
Available in configurations with Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro, we’ve also tested for compatibility with common Linux distributions and will be publishing guides on using them.
Battery
With a 55Wh battery, the Framework Laptop gets you through a workday on a single charge. The pack is designed to provide up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 cycles, and is easy to replace if you ever need to.³
Audio
Stereo 2W speakers with 5cc of backvolume generate loud and clear audio. The dual MEMS microphones are connected to a hardware privacy switch, giving you full control.
WiFi
Supporting WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 out of the box, the Framework Laptop can also be upgraded to WiFi 6E and other future wireless standards by replacing the wireless module.
Designed for the Future of Work
The Framework Laptop is designed from the ground up to make you as productive as possible. A high-resolution 3:2 aspect ratio display lets you fit more code and creativity on-screen at once. Glare reducing coatings and >400 nit brightness lets you take your work outside too!

1.5mm Key-Travel Keyboard
The Framework Laptop has a great feeling keyboard with a toggleable backlight. While most compact notebooks have shrunk to between 0.8mm and 1.2mm travel, we’ve chosen a better balance of 1.5mm to deliver excellent feel while keeping the system highly portable.
Fingerprint Reader
The power button has an integrated Fingerprint Reader compatible with Windows Hello for secure and convenient login.
Touchpad
The 115x76.66mm Windows Precision Touchpad has a matte glass surface for high durability and great feel.
Choose your Language
Both the keyboard alone and the full input cover are replaceable, letting you swap languages and layouts. We’ll be expanding our language offerings as we go, including languages never before built into a notebook. In addition, we offer stealthed out black and clear keyboards with no artwork at all.
Color-customizable
Electronics products don’t need to be one-size-fits all. The magnet attached bezel makes it easy to access the screen for replacements, and it also comes in a range of colors to let you personalize your Framework Laptop.
The Marketplace
To support and expand on all the ways the Framework Laptop can be upgraded and customized, we’re also launching a Marketplace for modules and accessories. In addition to the parts and products we make, we’re opening up the ecosystem for other companies and individuals to participate.
We're starting with availability of a wide range of replacement parts:
Battery | Display | Webcam | Enclosure assemblies | Hinges | Input Cover | Touchpad | Keyboard | Fingerprint Reader | Headphone jack | Speakers | Internal cables | Heatsink and Fan
And upgrades:
Memory | Storage | WiFi | Mainboards
Sustainability
The single best way to reduce the environmental impact of electronics is to make them last longer. You can repair and upgrade the Framework Laptop to make it work great for as long as you need it to. On top of that, it uses a 50% post consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum housing, 30% PCR plastic, and fully recyclable materials for packaging.
Privacy
Built-in hardware privacy switches give you complete control over access to the camera and microphones. Our embedded controller firmware is fully open source, and we don’t preload any extra software. You can even install a privacy focused OS on a Storage Expansion Card and take it with you.
Transparency
Every part of the Framework Laptop has a scannable QR code, giving you unprecedented access to documentation, repair guides, replacement and upgrade parts, and insight into design and manufacturing data.
