The Framework Laptop - a High-end Laptop Designed to be Repaired, Upgraded and Last for Many Years
What do you think - could this be the future of high-end personal computing? I couldn't agree more with their intro: "The time has come for consumer electronics products that are designed to last, without sacrificing performance, quality, or style." https://frame.work/ Key points from their website: 100 % YOURS "It’s time for long-lasting products that respect your right to repair and upgrade. We’re bringing this mission to notebooks with the Framework Laptop and to additional categories as we go. We can’t wait to build a better consumer electronics industry together." SUSTAINABLE "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-FOCUSED "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."

We're glad to see all of the interest in what we're doing at Framework! The time has come for consumer electronics products that are designed to last. We know that this is something that people want and that the planet needs, so we've focused our mission on enabling it. We'll be sharing more about the Framework Laptop over the next months on the path to opening pre-orders this spring and shipping this summer.

While I can't comment on the intent regarding its longevity, the Dell Inspiron 9300 I bought in 2004 has been upgraded numerous times and still serves as my primary design machine, capable of every task on my list. Hard drive, video card, memory chips, power supply, battery, and cooling fan have all been replaced at some point. It's a tank, and I'll keep it going another few years if I can.

Very impressive longevity. I´ve gone the refurbished laptop route and got a lot for my money. A trend I´ve noticed in the refurbished segment is that the later the model was released the better the IO is but at the same time the upgradeability gets worse.

Looks promising! I´m a big fan of the old way laptops used to be put together, say the old IBM Thinkpad line up that were built like tanks and could be upgraded to a huge degree. Of course, they probably didn´t have sustainability in mind back then so this could be even better.
