Framework gave its 12-inch laptop some hardware upgrades

Framework released a second-generation 12-inch convertible laptop featuring Intel’s 13th-gen Core i3-1300 series CPU, up to 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, and a new pre-built Linux option. The base model, offered only in green, starts at $699—$100 cheaper than last year’s launch—and ships with Fedora 44 KDE Plasma, with preorders open and first deliveries slated for October.
