Framework designs highly customizable, modular laptops built for easy repair, upgrading, and longevity, giving users full control over performance and reducing e-waste.
Framework Computer Inc. is a pioneering technology company founded with a mission to eliminate electronic waste by designing products that are easily repairable, fully upgradeable, and built to last. Unlike traditional laptops with glued-in batteries and soldered memory, Framework’s modular architecture empowers users to customize and maintain their devices over time. By replacing only the components that are broken or outdated rather than the entire system, Framework gives users unprecedented control over their hardware.
The brand's flagship products include the Framework Laptop 13, Framework Laptop 16, and the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition. These highly customizable machines utilize a unique Expansion Card system, allowing users to swap their input ports—such as USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and MicroSD—on the fly as needed. In addition to port flexibility, users can effortlessly exchange internal and external components like the keyboard, RAM, primary and secondary storage (NVMe SSDs), and even the mainboard as new processor generations are released.

Whether you are assembling a DIY edition from scratch, installing a new memory module, or reviewing safety and regulatory information, our directory provides the exact documentation needed to safely operate and upgrade your Framework device.
