I may be sat in front of my RTX 4090-toting desktop gaming PC, but I felt I had to whip out my Framework 13 laptop to tap out this story about the fact you can now buy one of these outstanding lappies for just $499. That's a great price for one of the best small form factor laptops around right now. There are obvious caveats to that significant discount, but it all plays into the ethos of Framework, and why I'm more than happy to support what it's doing.
There are many reasons why I'm a big fan of what Framework does as a laptop manufacturer, and this latest update is just another. For one, it allows you to carry out complete repairs and upgrades on your own notebook with just a single supplied Torx screwdriver, and for another, it doesn't just bury its last-gen hardware in the likes of Amazon's faintly dodgy, overpriced backroom stores.
