Framework Launches Updated Version of Its 12-inch Laptop with New Intel Chips
Framework has released a second-generation version of its 12-inch convertible laptop, featuring new Intel Core Series 3 processors and expanded hardware customization options. The updated model includes pre-built Linux support based on user demand, as well as additional features like a fingerprint reader and backlit keyboard. The base configuration starts at $699 for the green-colored version with an Intel Core 3 304 CPU, 8GB RAM, and 512GB storage. The laptop also supports Wi-Fi 7 R2, Thunderbolt 4, and higher DDR5 memory speeds of up to 6400 MT/s. A DIY Edition is available for $549 with more color options. While the new chip aims to improve battery life and reduce fan noise, it has only one performance core and may not meet expectations in terms of power.
