The Framework Laptop 12 is a new addition to Framework's lineup, featuring a modular, repairable, and upgradeable design.
It has a unique and colorful plastic design, which makes it stand out among other laptops.
The laptop is targeted as an entry-level, lower-cost device, but its high price doesn't match this intention, being similar to higher-end models like MacBook Air and Surface Laptop.
One of its key features is a customizable port system, though there's a limited color match for the module options.
The laptop uses an older Intel processor, leading to unexceptional performance, especially in gaming and productivity tasks.
It lacks a backlit keyboard and biometric login features, which is uncommon in its price range.
While it introduces a convertible touchscreen—a first for Framework laptops—its overall performance and value are underwhelming compared to other options.
