Features and Specifications

The Framework Laptop 12 boasts a colorful 12.2-inch display with a 360-degree hinge, allowing it to fold into a tablet.

It will be available with 13th-gen i3 or i5 Core processors, up to 48GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to a 2TB M.2 2230 SSD, along with Wi-Fi 6E and the option of Windows 11 or Linux.
