Framework is updating its 12-inch convertible Framework Laptop 12 with new hardware. The refreshed model includes Intel’s latest Core Series 3 processors and additional hardware upgrades, along with expanded options for customizing components.
Alongside the spec changes, Framework offers a pre-built Linux configuration. Engadget and The Verge both report that the updated entry-level pricing is lower than the previous launch offering, with the cheapest pre-built base configuration listed at $699, $100 less than the prior version. The updates are available via open preorders, with shipments beginning after the preorder window.
While both outlets focus on the processor upgrade and the refreshed hardware lineup, The Verge provides additional detail on the Linux pre-built option and the specific price comparison to the prior model. Engadget highlights the “major spec bump” framing and confirms the Core Series 3 transition and other upgrades without emphasizing pricing specifics to the same degree.
