Regardless of the 2022 Framework laptop you buy, you will end up with a model that is 16 mm thin and weighs less than 1.3 kg. Both new models also support the company’s expansion card system. The current configuration offers users a 13.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio.
An interesting addition is a hardware privacy switch which is also standard on every model. The keyboard offers 1.5 mm of key travel, and Framework has also thrown in a capable 1080p web camera. Users can choose between getting their system preinstalled with Windows 11 or going with a Linux distro of their choice.
With the DIY edition, users have the option to choose their own parts and assemble the system themselves and also have a choice of Linux distros. Framework confirmed that they have worked on improving Linux support while adding that the new systems fully support Fedora 36 out of the box. Ubuntu, while not as well-supported as Fedora, can be installed on the system with full functionality — albeit with some workarounds.
The folks at Framework suggest that they’ll ship the new laptops to customers in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, and Ireland starting July 2022. As for the pricing, the standard, pre-assembled model starts at $1,049, while the DIY machine starts at $819. The company also says they’ll continue to sell last year’s first-generation model for $899 until their current supplies are exhausted. For those considering a purchase, Framework has a dedicated page that compares all three currently-available laptops.
