If you need more or have special requests, please contact us through our support form and we’ll reach out to you.
  • Yes! If you ever need more performance in the future, you can upgrade to a new Mainboard with a new CPU on it. We publish step by step guides you can follow to do the upgrade yourself.
  • The Base configuration has great performance out of the box for lighter use cases and is upgradeable if you ever need more power in the future. The Performance configuration has double the storage of the Base model and a faster CPU for heavier multitasking.

FAQs

  • Framework Expansion Cards allow you to customize the ports and functionality of the Framework Laptop 12. Unlike other notebooks that require adapters and dongles to get to the ports you need, you can select the ones you want at order time and change them whenever you’d like. The Framework Laptop 12 supports four simultaneous Expansion Cards, with two on each side. Expansion Cards are hot swappable; simply slide and click them into your Framework Laptop with no tools needed.
  • You can, but we don't recommend it. There are four Expansion Card slots on the Framework Laptop 12, so we suggest using one in each slot.
  • Yes! We'll be adding new Expansion Cards over time, and we've also opened up the design to enable third parties and community members to create their own versions. We'll be making these available in the Framework Marketplace over time.
  • The Framework Laptop 12 charges over USB-C from any one of the four Expansion Card slots. We suggest configuring with at least one USB-C Expansion Card since it is difficult to directly plug into the recessed USB-C charging port inside the bay.

Each card can be used in any of the 4 Expansion Card slots on the Framework Laptop 12.
