Users can pick and choose which ports to fit to their Chromebook
(Picture: Google)Generally, Chromebooks are cheap and cheerful thanks to Chrome OS’s limited system requirements. While premium Chromebooks do exist, they’re a niche product, and most models cost under £400 — “disposable” in computing terms, just as then CEO Eric Schmidt said back in 2010.
But the latest premium Chromebook from Framework is anything but disposable, built with upgrades and repairs in mind. Like the company’s other laptops, this is a modular entry where users can not only easily open it up for maintainance, but can rearrange the ports to their liking, and even magnetically attach a different coloured bezel.
