The Framework Laptop is one of the most exciting PCs to cross my desk in the past decade. This is the anti-MacBook, the laptop that promises to let you customize, repair, and upgrade it to an unprecedented degree, all while remaining affordable and ultraportable.
When Framework revealed the laptop in 2021, I was excited about those promises but dubious the company could deliver on them without some glaring sacrifices. Now that I’ve spent a few weeks reviewing one, I’m pleased to report that Framework appears to have stuck the landing.
The Framework Laptop ($749 to start, $1,399 as reviewed) we reviewed is versatile, well-made, and one of the best laptops you can buy — especially if you care about your right to repair and tinker with your devices.
