This could be the last laptop you ever need to buy

Framework might not be a name you’ve heard of but it could soon be far more common as the company is about to release its modular laptop that could last you a lifetime.

Alright, any laptop laasting that long is a stretch, but the idea is that this will last you far longer than the usual update cycle.

How? This is a modular device meaning you can upgrade the parts you want, when you want.

The Framework Laptop 12, announced last month in a live stream, will soon be available for pre-order from 11AM ET on April 9.

What is the Framework Laptop 12 like?

This is primarily a company that is all about modular repairability. That ethos means it’s built and designed to last you longer so there is less waste in the world.

This should mean that a Framework device helps both the environment and you, since you won’t have to pay quite so much to upgrade when the time comes.

The device itself has a 12.2-inch touchscreen with 1,920 x 1,200 resolution and 400 nits brightness.

The laptop will comes with a 13th gen Intel i3 or i5 Core processor with up to 48GB of DDR5 RAM.

There is up to 2TB of M.2 2230 SSD, Wi-Fi 6E and either Windows 11 or Linux as your OS of choice.

That’s all the specs available at time of publishing.

When can I get a Framework laptop?

The company says it won’t release the full specs available, the price or the shipping date until that pre-sale day comes around.

It seems like creating a bit of buzz ahead of this launch is all part of the plan to hype up what’s coming. But with such a long-term environmental and personal saving possible here, perhaps that’s not needed as this is a genuinely exciting new option for those seeking a long-term laptop.

This makes the ongoing Amazon Prime Day deals one of the last easy ways to buy an iPad at a more reasonable price before higher official pricing becomes the new normal. We have listed all the ongoing iPad offers below, so check out these deals before the Prime Day sale ends on June 26.
