Frame that repairable laptop strikes pre-order status

One thing Most laptops and other electronic devices have in common: it is almost impossible to repair them. This is especially true on laptops. Many modern models are completely sealed, leaving users unable to access internal components, while others have modest repair capacities. A company called a framework revealed a modular and highly repairable laptop in February.

The Framework Laptop has combined an easily accessible design with modular and interchangeable expansion cards to easily replace and modernize the components. The machine looks like a 13.5-inch basic laptop outside. Only it is much easier to repair if necessary. The Framework laptop is now available for pre-order with the machine from $ 999.

The company says it will start shipping the Cahier by 13.5 inches at the end of July. Initially, the framework had to start shipping the notebook in the spring, but the problem of the supply of the chip removes several industries prevented. Three different configurations will be proposed, including the base, performance and professional. The basic unit is $ 999, with the 1999 professional cost and midrange falling somewhere between.

Basic buyers will obtain an Intel I5 core, eight gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes storage. The professional version offers an Intel I7 core, 32 gigabytes of RAM and a storage terabyte on the high end. Windows versions start with the house on the base and professional versions get Windows Pro.

These particularly in DIY can get a bone shell for $ 749 allowing users to connect their own components. One of the most interesting aspects of the machine is that it is customizable with an expansion card system that allows users to choose the ports they want and on which side they wish. Four can be selected at a time, including USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, display port, microSD, etc. Users can also customize the color of the machine using glasses that attach via magnets. The preorders are in progress now.
