Framework\u2019s main claim to fame is its commitment to modular, upgradeable, repairable laptops. The jury\u2019s still out on early 2024\u2019s Framework Laptop 16 and mid-2025\u2019s Framework Laptop 12, neither of which has seen a hardware refresh, but so far, the company has released half a dozen iterations of its flagship Framework Laptop 13 in less than five years. If you bought one of the originals right when it first launched, you could go to Framework\u2019s site, buy an all-new motherboard and RAM, and get a substantial upgrade in performance and other capabilities without having to change anything else about your laptop.<\/p>\n

That’s what makes the Framework Desktop so weird. Not only is Framework navigating into a product category where its main innovation and claim to fame is totally unnecessary. But it\u2019s actually doing that with a desktop that\u2019s less<\/em> upgradeable and modular than any given self-built desktop PC.<\/p>\n
