Giving one of the emojis is a beachball made of primary colors, the Verge suggested that the brand could be hinting at a 2-in-1 style Chromebook with a 360-degree hinge. This design allows devices to be used in different stances, other than the standard clamshell laptop form.

Framework also detailed that pre-orders for at least one of its new products will be available on launch day. The brand urges that consumers create an account if they are interested in getting early access.

The event will be Framework’s first major launch in two years. The brand last unveiled devices in March 2023, which include the Framework Laptop 16, and two Framework Laptop 13 models. Since then the brand has kept its products up to date following the latest components on the market. Notably, the brand launched a Framework Laptop Chromebook edition device in 2022 that was considered innovative at the time.

Framework is also opening invites to its upcoming event to enthusiasts, especially those who frequent the brand’s online forum. “In addition to bringing in press and partners, we’re opening a pool of invites to the Framework Community to attend the event in person, meet the team, and get hands-on with our newest products,” Framework said in a statement.

Those interested in attending can apply here to attend the event. The brand noted that applying does not guarantee an invitation.

For those who can’t make it in person, Framework will be streaming the event on YouTube.

Pre-orders for the modular Framework Laptop start at $999 — screwdriver included

The Framework Laptop with replaceable parts

The Framework Laptop, a modular notebook that lets you swap most of its parts for repairs or upgrades, is now up for grabs in a limited presale. Announced earlier this year by one of the founders of Oculus, this Framework notebook is said to redefine the "replace when broken" approach to laptops that we often see today. We now know the specs and the price of the laptops that will begin shipping this summer.

With its sleek, modern design, thin bezels, and just 2.87 pounds of weight, the Framework Laptop almost looks like a MacBook Pro. However, the notebook's main strength lies not in the looks, but in the ability to upgrade, customize, replace, and repair the majority of its internal and external hardware at will. While many Windows laptops offer the option to replace memory or storage, this lightweight notebook takes it a few steps further.

The Framework Laptop is fully modular — and it looks incredible

Launched by the team that founded Oculus, the Framework Laptop takes an entirely new approach to an Ultrabook laptop.

On the surface, with its attractive machined aluminum shell and sleek design, the Framework Laptop looks similar to a MacBook Pro or a Surface Laptop. Underneath the surface, however, Framework's modular laptop concept brings a host of innovations to the notebook market, including the ability to upgrade many of the laptop's internal and external components, and not just the memory and storage.

Need a budget-friendly laptop? Get this Asus deal at Walmart

The Asus VivoBook 15 laptop open on a white background.

You don't need to spend over a thousand dollars to end up with a dependable device from laptop deals -- you just need to be patient in waiting for a budget-friendly offer that will still provide reliable performance. Here's one: the Asus Vivobook 15 for only $299 from Walmart, following a $100 discount on its original price of $399. We're not sure when it will go back to its regular price though, so we highly recommend finishing your purchase quickly as that could happen at any moment.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook 15 laptop
Let's get this out of the way -- at its affordable price, you can't expect the Asus Vivobook 15 to match the performance of the best laptops. The device, however, will prove to be a trustworthy daily companion for regular tasks such as doing online research and typing documents, as well as watching some streaming shows when you're taking a break. It runs on the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, which will be more than enough for these activities. The laptop also ships with a 256GB SSD for ample storage space for your files, and it's got Windows 11 Home pre-installed.
