|
|
|
|
[Framework][2] has launched a Chromebook in collaboration with Google; the main focus of their products has always been to provide repairable and modular laptops.
|
|
|
|
With the launch of this laptop, they have implemented the same formula as their previous laptops, but with a touch of Google in the form of ChromeOS.
|
|
|
|
Let's see what they have on offer.
|
|
|
|
### Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The laptop runs ChromeOS and is a user-serviceable laptop with a very high degree of modularity.
|
|
|
|
It is based on the existing '[Framework Laptop][4],' with a milled aluminum chassis, that can comfortably house all the parts and keeps the weight in check at 1.3 kg.
|
|
|
|
Users can choose from a host of different options, such as switching out memory and storage or the ability to choose which ports they want and where they want those.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can choose from a variety of RAM options ranging from 8 GB to 64 GB, in terms of storage, users can install up to a 1 TB NVMe SSD and an additional SSD of either 250 GB or 1 TB capacity. The default configuration comes with 256 GB of storage.
|
|
|
|
Being a modular laptop, you can choose your ports, like USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, or Ethernet, and have them on any side you want.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
By providing these user-friendly modularities and using post-consumer recycled materials, Framework offers a very sustainable product compared to its competitors.
|

|
Regarding privacy, the Chromebook has two hardware privacy switches that cut power from the camera and the microphones to disable any access.

#### Specifications
|
|
|
|
The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition is powered by a **12-core Intel i5-1240P**, which can turbo up to 4.4 GHz; it also features Intel's Iris Xe graphics for running graphical workloads.
|
|
|
|
Other notable highlights include:
|
|
|
|
* 13.5-inch display (2256x1504) with 100% sRGB support and a 3:2 aspect ratio.
|
|
* 55Wh battery.
|
|
* Set of 80dB Stereo 2W Speakers.
|
|
* Backlight keyboard with 1.5 mm key travel.
|
|
* Support for WiFi 6E.
|
|
* 1080p 60FPS webcam.
|
|
|
|
#### Availability & Pricing
|
|
|
|
The laptop is up for pre-order starting at **$999** on their [official website][9]; it is currently limited to buyers from the US and Canada only.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
They are expecting shipments to begin in early December and are offering a fully-refundable **$100 deposit to pre-book** the laptop.
|
|
|
|
Framework seems to have taken the right step in attracting users to its product by offering a specific ChromeOS version of its existing laptop, especially after Google has seemingly stopped any further development on their ChromeOS laptops, the Pixelbook series.

|
💬 *What do you think? Can this be a viable alternative compared to the other Chromebooks in the market?*
