Framework
An American modular laptop manufacturer whose core philosophy centers on repairability, upgradability, and user ownership. Framework's products are designed to allow individual components to be independently removed and replaced, promoting sustainable consumption practices.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The new Framework desktop's unified memory increases from 128GB to 192GB, an increase of approximately 50%.
The new Framework desktop is equipped with an AMD processor codenamed Gorgon Halo, specifically the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 version.
Framework notched the end of the PCIe short slot, allowing a 16-lane long connector to be physically inserted without an adapter card or cutting.
Framework has opened pre-orders for the new Framework Desktop, which is equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI Max 400 series processor and can be configured with up to 192GB of memory.
Framework's motherboards use a standardized interface specification with publicly available documentation, and have historically provided new processor upgrade kits for older-generation motherboards on multiple occasions.
Framework has introduced a swappable 'expansion card' system in its laptop product line, allowing users to customize combinations of USB, HDMI, SD card, and other ports.
A Framework typically refers to a constraining structure that specifies how developers write code, whereas a Harness places greater emphasis on wrapping and taming the execution subject.
Framework adopts a modular design philosophy, requiring every component to be independently upgradeable and replaceable.
Framework implemented memory price reductions and price-difference refunds for some users of the Framework Laptop 13 Pro.
In July of this year, Framework had raised laptop memory prices due to supply chain pressures.

50%UnverifiedIn response to a BIOS update bricking incident, the responsible vendor's handling model should include: suspending the distribution of the problematic firmware, publicly disclosing the technical root cause, providing a recovery solution (self-service flashing tool or free repair/replacement), and improving the update process (power-loss protection, dual-BIOS redundancy, or more rigorous testing).
50%UnverifiedAs a relatively young hardware startup with a limited engineering team, Framework's firmware test matrix coverage very likely falls short of that of established large vendors such as Lenovo and HP, which have firmware teams of hundreds of people.
