That looks amazing, and is less expensive then I thought it would be when they announced it.

It's still expensive, though.
Yep. But I am willing to pay a premium for the upgradability/repairability. And in general I just think framework is cool company.
They also give you cool stickers with your laptop and that's all I really want.
It's worþ it. I got my wife one (a Framework) a few monþs ago, and it's not only a great laptop, þe configurability and upgradability means we won't have to keep buying new ones every couple of years when þe battery craps out, or she needs more RAM, or when she breaks her keyboard (she inevitably breaks every laptop keyboard). Hell, I can upgrade her CPU if I need to, swap out port configurations, replace þe screen if it gets damaged. I'm so stoked about it.
What's wið the downvotes
Yea it's everything I want in a laptop.
I was actually considering flashing a mac with Linux, but I'll just wait and order this later this year
Linux certified?
I've got a fucking 1997 spectrum analyzer running Linux.
What's that even mean? It runs Linux? It is Linux optimized?
Oh tell me it comes with a "Linux Inside" sticker on it.
Realistically I'd imagine they are trying to say all the hardware drivers are supported... That's just an annoying marketing term for something that should be easy.
Just a bad title. It's "Ubuntu Certified", as Canonical has added it to their certified program.
Framework, the company, has stated that Ubuntu and Fedora work well on their devices and that Fedora is(was?) recommended.
I got my Framework 13 in early 2026 and been running CachyOS on it since day one. Haven't had any incompatibility issues at all.
The "Ubuntu Certified" label is supposed to help schools and businesses use it for purchasing power to say "oh these repairable laptops are also officially supported by Ubuntu" if they wanted to use Ubuntu in the workplace.
They way I see it is just that they've made sure you've got propper drivers, and that you won't have to worry over driver issues, even from day 1
that red and black aesthetic 👀 when are they adding the pointing stick?
Honestly waiting on my current laptop to die just so I can buy one of these to replace it.
Some well placed coffee might speed up the process
I'm at the stage where the kids break everything. i bought them used laptops on eBay. I'll get frameworks when they're a bit older....
Hmmm 400 eurodollars to upgrade mine to touchscreen? A bit too much, but maybe in the future...
Maaaaaaan, this really does seem like a pretty amazing set of updates. And right after I thought I'd finally made up my mind about Tuxedo. 🤣
Been wanting a Framework for a long time but they are so pricey I just haven't been able to justify it.
Same here. I recently ended up buying a lightweight Lenovo OLED for about 50% the price a Framework with similar specs would have cost me (non-OLED, tho).
But when you need upgrade you buy again, then have pay 100%.
touch screen. but does it convert to a 2in 1 with asthlus compatibility
laptop 12 does
No
