A classy reflective Framework logo on the lid is the only thing distinguishing it from an Acer, ASUS and other brands’ laptops.Ī day or two later, I discovered that the Framework Chromebook does have one bit of flair: the black bezel around the screen is magnetic and easily removable. Still, it’s a pretty compact device, less than two-thirds of an inch thick and weighing under three pounds. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is very utilitarian, with a silver aluminum chassis that resembles so many other devices out there. Visually, the Framework Chromebook has little to distinguish it. ![]() That’s a lot of money for a Chromebook – but if it can last you five years or more, it might be worth the cost. That said, it’s also one of the more expensive Chromebooks available, starting at $999. It offers the same benefits as its Windows sibling – namely, solid industrial design and specs coupled with the promise of customization and future expandability. ![]() It’s been a little over a year since the first Framework laptops launched, and now the company has a new model, the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition (which I'll refer to as the Framework Chromebook from here on out). The company’s first Windows laptop was a solid computer considering the price – and that’s before you factor in the fact that you could swap ports, easily add more storage or RAM or even upgrade the processor down the line. In a world where most laptops are entirely sealed, with no real way to tweak the hardware, Framework’s modular devices stand out. Hear me out: The modular Framework Chromebook is worth the $1,000 (for some)
