Like Framework’s Laptop 13, the new Laptop 12 has modular ports and fully repairable innards. It has the same 1.5mm key travel as the Laptop 13, but it doesn’t have the same juice. It isn’t difficult to bog the Laptop 12 down multitasking across many Chrome tabs while on a video call. The Laptop 13 has turned out to be the shining example of repairability and upgradeability, but the big-boy Laptop 16 is currently in a weird spot. The Laptop 12 has the potential to become more than a quirky experiment for kids.
