Fixing Your Laptop at Home Should Be Easy. Here’s Why It’s Not.

Framework is a little-known company that makes very good laptops that you can easily open and repair yourself. How easily, exactly? To find out, I dug around in the guts of a Framework Laptop 13 to swap in a new processor, louder speakers, updated hinges, and a much-improved display using just a screwdriver.

The process was a breeze, and I’m even more convinced that more laptop makers should get on board with the idea. Being able to upgrade individual parts instead of replacing the whole laptop is easier and cheaper for laptop owners, and it’s better for the environment, too.
