Framework. The goal is “Janky, blocked, one-off, unpaid and honestly, boring” basic laptops with a recent 12-inch touch screen

What’s in the inch? We already have a laptop of a great Framework 13, so why does the company think that the world also needs a laptop frame 12? Well, this is not just a smaller version of his current machine, it is a recent convertible notebook with a touch screen, but one that was specially created as a laptop at the basic level for “students and young people around the world.”

Traditionally, inexpensive machines at the basic level may seem economical and not always especially cheerful. And the frames are particularly invigorating about this PC category.

“We build products to fix what we perceive as a broken industry,” reads the recent Framework blog, “and several categories are just as symbolic for problems with consumer electronics as basic laptops.

“They are usually crazy, closed, disposable, faint and straightforward, lifeless machines. It is a pity, these are products that computer brands sell students and newborn people around the world. Instead, we think that they are people who need carefully designed, long -lasting computers. “

Therefore, it is to introduce a design ethos Framework to a smaller, cheaper, “more pliant” shape and one that also occurs in different colors. I will say that I am in pastel tons of these new small laptops; Bubblebum is my jam. This is not only a nice facade, with a two -colored appearance as a result of the excessive start -up process, which improves the durability of the device using “absorbing shock tpu over a fixed PC/ABS with an internal metal structure for solidity.”

It is also believed that this is “the easiest product to repair”, but now we do not know exactly what it means.

Until now, we only have this little preview about recent machines with a touch screen, so there are no photos describing what is in them, but probably the frames will re -use the same motherboard design to reduce costs. He said that in these machines he would be tailored to these machines from the 13th generation I3 and Core i5, which should make them quite forceful devices, even though they have several generations.

In addition, there will be support up to 48 GB DDR5-5200 and 2 TB SSD, with a 12-inch touch screen 1920 x 1200 with an impressive setting with a top of 400 rivets. You may also have a choice of Windows 11 or Linux.

Pre -sale orders to RAM 12 open in April and we will probably receive a better idea about what is in the machines, when we are approaching this date and the deliveries will be in the summer of 2025.
