Budget Windows laptops still suck. Framework's upcoming repairable and upgradeable machine could change the game.
Framework's Laptop 12 is a modular, repairable budget laptop designed to address the shortcomings of typical budget Windows laptops. Featuring a 12.2-inch 2-in-1 convertible design, it offers a stylish appearance with five color options and a decent display (1920x1200 resolution, 400 nits brightness). Its modular components make it easy to repair and upgrade, with improvements in the repair process. The laptop aims to revitalize the budget market with its focus on sustainability and longevity, though its performance may not match higher-end models. Its success hinges on achieving the right price point to encourage sustainable computing.
