Framework is a new company selling a fully modular and serviceable laptop ecosystem, similar to what exists in the desktop computer space. These systems have the CPU soldered to the motherboard, treated the motherboard + CPU as a single unit. Beyond that, all other components are removable, customizable, and replaceable, including the option to purchase a "DIY" laptop that comes without RAM, storage, networking, or even external I/O ports. The External I/O ports are provided via removable modules.

This page details the Framework Laptop Motherboard with Intel 11th Generation CPUs. For more components, see the main Laptops/Framework_Laptop page.
