We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here...

I have toyed with the thought of framework laptops a few times. But the pricing is just too high. I rather buy used company laptops ~3 years afterwards and get way cheaper high quality laptop. Plus, buying used is pretty much always better than buying new in an environmental sense.

I contacted them about putting the Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A RISC-V SoM in... but they seemed unenthusiastic...

Not everyone is riding the hyperbole in tech.

It’s a great idea and I’m very interested but this article is just an ad. There’s very little substance.

Normally I'd be rolling my eyes but they could probably stand some free advertising.

I just wish they'd jump the pond already.

It's kinda funny how North America has the repairable laptop, while Europe has the repairable phone.

I've never used one of their computers or even seen one in the flesh, but from what I've seen they look cool and I will consider them next time I need a new laptop. But for now I'll reduce e-waste by using my old Acer Chromebook with Linux until it kicks the bucket.
