The company first launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/framework-laptop-13-amd-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">Framework Laptop 13<\/a> in 2022, followed by a larger (and more powerful) 16-inch model. But the 12-inch laptop is unique, however, as it\u2019s not only the smallest but also the cheapest, bringing the Framework philosophy to a whole new demographic. The Framework Laptop 12 bears a resemblance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-laptops-tablets-for-students-school\/\">student laptops<\/a>, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-chromebooks\/\">Chromebooks<\/a>. These are designed to withstand some abuse, making it an appropriate fit for schools.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"sponsor-product\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Although it uses just a 12.2-inch screen, its overall footprint on the table is a bit bigger than you\u2019d assume. Due to the almost comically large bezels around the display, the device is larger in some dimensions than some 13-inch laptops, like the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.dell.com\/en-us\/shop\/dell-laptops\/xps-13-laptop\/spd\/xps-13-9345-laptop\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3kFAWYpoG8awFdYM2qWXQGU1ogfDAwgR4od8Ag9tZxag8CGBSWS5bfSJGtuU57yQqPugbgLWtVKymMVWvBQgYu3am944FfYRxidBbTGQypCftLTMAXWALksGvNjHD56uSrBL6J6rv4g5yjZHFJXkom4UT4hKto4sHSRP9BaLAjxYryBKRYnDEiNpeMWJzugSqNtLN&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3kFAWYpoG8awFdYM2qWXQGU1ogfDAwgR4od8Ag9tZxag8CGBSWS5bfSJGtuU57yQqPugbgLWtVKymMVWvBQgYu3am944FfYRxidBbTGQypCftLTMAXWALksGvNjHD56uSrBL6J6rv4g5yjZHFJXkom4UT4hKto4sHSRP9BaLAjxYryBKRYnDEiNpeMWJzugSqNtLN\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Dell XPS 13<\/a>. It\u2019s so thick (and the bezels are so chunky) that it\u2019s even taller than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/macbook-air-13-inch-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">13-inch MacBook Air<\/a> with the lid open, despite having over an inch less screen to work with. It\u2019s a tiny screen to work on, especially compared to how large the device feels to carry.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"in-content\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There are a few interesting bits about the screen. It\u2019s the first Framework device to feature a 16:10 aspect ratio and a glossy touchscreen. The Framework Laptop 13 and 16 both have matte displays. But the reason for the touchscreen is that this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-2-in-1-laptops\/\" target=\"_blank\">2-in-1 laptop<\/a>, meaning the hinge can rotate around 360 degrees. There\u2019s even a stylus you can buy for taking notes or drawing, though mine did not come with it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"GroupCalloutWrapper-bPWknp dhHsN callout callout--group callout--group-2\" data-testid=\"GroupCalloutWrapper\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed callout--group-item callout--group-item-1\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW lgCwTv responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Computer Electronics Tablet Computer and Phone\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Review-%2520Framework%2520Laptop%252012%2520SOURCE%2520Luke%2520Larsen%252010.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6856223b93c69ae411a0764e\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%2010.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Luke Larsen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed callout--group-item callout--group-item-2\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW lgCwTv responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Computer Electronics Laptop and Pc\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Review-%2520Framework%2520Laptop%252012%2520SOURCE%2520Luke%2520Larsen%25202.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68562235547457878aa496e1\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Review-%20Framework%20Laptop%2012%20SOURCE%20Luke%20Larsen%202.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Luke Larsen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>That also means it can\u2019t open easily with one hand. There\u2019s no lip for your finger either, so you\u2019ll need both hands to pry it open. Thankfully, the build quality is decent. It\u2019s made out of plastic, yes, so there\u2019s some give in the keyboard and lid. But Framework says it has an \u201cinner metal structure\u201d that gives it its fairly robust feel. It doesn\u2019t feel flimsy at all. Framework is also using \u201covermolded, shock-absorbing\u201d thermoplastic to reinforce the edges, ensuring it doesn\u2019t get nicked or dented. That\u2019s not unlike what you see on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-chromebooks\/\" target=\"_blank\">budget Chromebooks<\/a> meant for the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of the display is hit or miss. The colors are the biggest detriment to the display and the laptop as a whole. It has an ugly green tint, which I confirmed with my <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.datacolor.com\/spyder\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/HxYS4VM3hSWzvmGMHhciNh5TYcRiz8rPWZRNNxNbSBYTzEuSM1p6xK8AAh4ReiazGNiwRtY2MPFGbxYFSkqXH2B4jvtPg2pGLfHXggtyYsiDoYMi4dTSJboEhNNT452yDZx&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/HxYS4VM3hSWzvmGMHhciNh5TYcRiz8rPWZRNNxNbSBYTzEuSM1p6xK8AAh4ReiazGNiwRtY2MPFGbxYFSkqXH2B4jvtPg2pGLfHXggtyYsiDoYMi4dTSJboEhNNT452yDZx\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Spyder colorimeter<\/a>. It\u2019s typical for laptops of this price, but still disappointing to see. The good news is it&#8217;s plenty sharp at 1,920 x 1,200-pixel resolution and quite bright, maxing out at 434 nits of brightness. That helps.<\/p>\n<p><cm-unit\/><\/p>\n<p>While the display has its deficiencies, the Framework Laptop 12 has some strong points in its favor. The first is the keyboard, which feels fantastic to type on with its 1.5-millimeter key travel. Perhaps even more surprising is the touchpad. It\u2019s common to see unresponsive touchpads at this price that feel clunky to swipe across or have stiff, loud click mechanisms. That\u2019s even true on cheap laptops I like, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/asus-vivobook-14-copilot-pc-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">Asus Vivobook 14<\/a>. But the Framework Laptop 12 has a high-end touchpad that\u2019s every bit as smooth and responsive to use as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/which-macbook-should-you-buy\/\">MacBook<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/microsoft-surface-buying-guide\/\">Microsoft Surface<\/a>. It doesn&#8217;t offer haptic feedback like those, but the click mechanism is quiet and precise. This might feel like a small reason to like the Framework Laptop 12, but as the parts of the laptop you interact with directly the most, they go a long way toward making it feel premium rather than cheap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budget-friendly laptops may save you money in the near term, but if they\u2019re cheaply made and quickly outdated, you may end up needing to replace them soon after.
