Awesome laptop. The video was a little clumsy at first, but gets better when Gordon opens it up and takes a look inside. More of a reaction than your typical YouTube teardown. It doesn't appear that a lot of this was well informed or researched going in. Framework even had to use the comments section of this video to bring up some pretty obvious and well known things e. g. release buttons for the expansion cards and the fingerprint reader in the power button.
I was wondering, with the inverted design, do you feel the heat of the below components on the keyboard when the laptop is under load? Conventional laptops will have that heat directed down and out.

It has been awhile since I watched a tech review that made me exclaim -YES! - (was asked to upgrade the memory in a Dell Inspiron a few days ago. what a horrorshow)
This takes Right-To-Repair to a new (obtainable) level. This is what I envisioned (and never got) when Intel announced their NUC gameplan a few years ago.
I wish Framework every success! I hope that they become an industry gamechanger.
Excellent and informative review of what looks like an outstanding product!

Since year 2002, this is always doable. But there is no enough smart market from both consumer side and manufacturers- side. In US, every Laptop sale needs to create $300 profit margin in order to carry an acceptable support team. I don-t see any tier one company wants to increase support overhead by introducing a unit which endusers can easily open and accidentally lose one of those small cables/ connectors and call warranty or support for it.

but does it come with an ethernet module, or what if i need to plug more in: P?
my broken alienware laptop has 2 ram slots, 3 m. 2 slots, 2. 5 inch bay, a mini PCIe for wifi, has ethernet, thunderbolt, other IOs, AGA. Only CPU and GPU is onboard. Whats damaged is the motherboard, nothing that even this laptop can make modular.

Great concept for ease of repair. How about upgradable logic boards like clones used to be ie 8088 /286 /386 /486 and custom video. Multi ports within each plug in port and a magnetic disconnect power just like my Fry Daddy from the 1970s built into the case

I like everything except the panel. I can still see Apple bad influence here. Way too glossy. To many pixels that depleting the battery faster too.
isn't it supposed to be a productivity laptop? Id love a 1080x720 matte screen like on my Thinkpad.

When I was buying my laptop my first step was to make sure that I can reach the components without any effort. I upgraded later the RAM, the CPU twice, cleaned the cooler 5x, upgraded the SSD-s. This is the next gen machine I want.

So much wrong things said and wrong stuff done, one of the worst review of the Framework, sorry
By the way yes it's finger print power button
And you should push that damm button before pup up the dongles

Wow dumb dumb really did not see module release button right there by the port.
If you have to force anything your usually doing something wrong take step back take deep breath & rethink the approach.
