When we launched the Framework Laptop a year ago, we shared a promise for a better kind of Consumer Electronics: one in which you have the power to upgrade, repair, and customize your products to make them last longer and fit your needs better. Today, we’re honored to deliver on that promise with a new generation of the Framework Laptop, bringing a massive performance upgrade with the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, available for pre-order now. We spent the last year gathering feedback from early adopters to refine the product as we scale up. We’ve redesigned our lid assembly for significantly improved rigidity and carefully optimized standby battery life, especially for Linux users. Finally, we continue to expand on the Expansion Card portfolio, with a new 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Card coming soon.
In addition to launching our new Framework Laptops with these upgrades, we’re living up to our mission by making all of them available individually as modules and combined as Upgrade Kits in the Framework Marketplace. This is perhaps the first time ever that generational upgrades are available in a high-performance thin and light laptop, letting you pick the improvements you want without needing to buy a full new machine.
12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors
Framework Laptops with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors are available for pre-order today in all countries we currently ship to: US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, and Ireland. We’ll be launching in additional countries throughout the year, and you can help us prioritize by registering your interest. We’re using a batch pre-order system, with only a fully-refundable $100/€100/£100 deposit required at the time of pre-order. Mainboards with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, our revamped Top Cover, and the Upgrade Kit that combines the two are available for waitlisting on the Marketplace today. You can register to get notified as soon as they come in stock. The first batch of new laptops as well as the new Marketplace items start shipping this July.
