We asked: Can it be done? A convertible touchscreen laptop that’s also repairable, really? The Framework 12 is a pastel repair geek’s dream.

    I got a Framework 16 a few months ago and I’ve been loving it. Super happy these guys managed to make this concept of a repairable laptop work. Though, one thing I wish is for them to make a storage case for the expansion cards. I’ve built up a little collection of them and obviously filled up all 6 slots pretty quickly. I’d like a better place to put the unused cards than in a random drawer.

      Want me to 3d print one for you?

      I found a few pre-made designs:

    I have been wanting one since these were released. My old Asus laptop from 2016 is still kicking, so I guess I’ll wait till it craps the bed.

      Same with my 2017 Thinkpad.

      If they release one with a TrackPoint and mouse buttons, I’ll upgrade early.

      how do you use it with one hand?

      imo that’s the only benefit of having a smartphone. any other computer can do internet calls too

          ok, I most often type with 2 hands, but I have issues holding my tablet sized laptop for a longer time, so it’s hard to even just keep reading on it. and it does not even have an HDD inside. I have no such problems with my phone, I could hold it probably for hours.

    I had to double-take because I thought this was their 12th model. But no, they just suck at product versioning, like every other tech company.

      I’m confused, do you have an example of a laptop that uses numbers for their model number iteration rather than their screen size or feature set?

        No. Which is why I said they suck at versioning, like every other tech company.
