The evolution of the Framework Laptop 13

In 2021, we introduced the Framework Laptop 13, a thin-and-light notebook built to be repairable, upgradeable, and customizable. From the start, our goal was to build high-performance hardware that stays yours. Seven generations later, we’ve continued to push performance forward while rethinking nearly every subsystem.
