Built by Framework in collaboration with Google. Check this out. + +![A Modular Chromebook Launched by Framework and Google][1] + +[Framework][2] has launched a Chromebook in collaboration with Google; the main focus of their products has always been to provide repairable and modular laptops. + +With the launch of this laptop, they have implemented the same formula as their previous laptops, but with a touch of Google in the form of ChromeOS. + +Let's see what they have on offer. + +### Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition + +![framework laptop chromebook edition][3] + +The laptop runs ChromeOS and is a user-serviceable laptop with a very high degree of modularity. + +It is based on the existing '[Framework Laptop][4],' with a milled aluminum chassis, that can comfortably house all the parts and keeps the weight in check at 1.3 kg. + +Users can choose from a host of different options, such as switching out memory and storage or the ability to choose which ports they want and where they want those. + +![framework laptop chromebook edition repairability][5] + +You can choose from a variety of RAM options ranging from 8 GB to 64 GB, in terms of storage, users can install up to a 1 TB NVMe SSD and an additional SSD of either 250 GB or 1 TB capacity. The default configuration comes with 256 GB of storage. + +Being a modular laptop, you can choose your ports, like USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, or Ethernet, and have them on any side you want. + +![port selection framework][6] + +By providing these user-friendly modularities and using post-consumer recycled materials, Framework offers a very sustainable product compared to its competitors. + +![framework laptop chromebook edition pcr materials][7] + +Regarding privacy, the Chromebook has two hardware privacy switches that cut power from the camera and the microphones to disable any access. + +![framework laptop chromebook edition hardware privacy switches][8] + +#### Specifications + +The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition is powered by a **12-core Intel i5-1240P**, which can turbo up to 4.4 GHz; it also features Intel's Iris Xe graphics for running graphical workloads. + +Other notable highlights include: + +* 13.5-inch display (2256x1504) with 100% sRGB support and a 3:2 aspect ratio. +* 55Wh battery. +* Set of 80dB Stereo 2W Speakers. +* Backlight keyboard with 1.5 mm key travel. +* Support for WiFi 6E. +* 1080p 60FPS webcam. + +#### Availability & Pricing + +The laptop is up for pre-order starting at **$999** on their [official website][9]; it is currently limited to buyers from the US and Canada only. + +[Framework Chromebook][10] + +They are expecting shipments to begin in early December and are offering a fully-refundable **$100 deposit to pre-book** the laptop. + +Framework seems to have taken the right step in attracting users to its product by offering a specific ChromeOS version of its existing laptop, especially after Google has seemingly stopped any further development on their ChromeOS laptops, the Pixelbook series. + +💬 *What do you think? Can this be a viable alternative compared to the other Chromebooks in the market?* + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/chromebook-framework/ + +作者:[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题:[lkxed][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w1200/2022/09/framework-chromebook-laptop.jpg +[2]: https://frame.work/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/framework_laptop_chromebook_edition.png +[4]: https://frame.work/products/laptop-12-gen-intel +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/framework_laptop_chromebook_edition_repairability.png +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/expansion-cards.jpg +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/framework_laptop_chromebook_edition_pcr_materials.png +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/framework_laptop_chromebook_edition_privacy.png +[9]: https://frame.work/products/laptop-chromebook-12-gen-intel +[10]: https://frame.work/products/laptop-chromebook-12-gen-intel
