====== Framework Laptop ======

[[https://frame.work/|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.

===== Laptop Versions =====

Framework laptops have modular chassis and motherboards. Framework series numbers denotes the chassis and screen size. The CPU generation denotes the motherboard revision. Any motherboard within a Framework series can be swapped out for any other board from that same series, similar to how any ATX desktop computer case can take any ATX motherboard.

===== Modular I/O =====

The Framework 13 Laptop contains four recessed Thunderbolt 4 modular bays, each with a USB-C connector interface and support for charging the laptop. The Framework 16 has six module bays (currently known how many support charging). These modules allow for changing the external I/O on the laptop without the need for dongles or protruding adapters. Most modules sit flush with the side of the laptop. Most modules have the same form factor in a plastic housing. Modules below are pictured without their housing to showcase their internal components.

==== USB-A ====

Straight pass-through, nothing special.

==== USB-C ====

Straight pass-through, nothing special. This module is also used with the laptop's USB-C charging adapter.

==== Micro-SD Card Reader ====

Module appears to have an intrusion detection sensor. Currently untested with %%FreeBSD%%.

==== HDMI ====

HDMI 2.0 spec. Hot-plugging displays working as expected. Resolutions up to 4k/60Hz and 1440p/120Hz are supported. On supported displays, EDID data for higher bandwidth resolutions such as 4k/120Hz are passed to %%FreeBSD%%, however these output no video.

==== SSD ====

There are currently two SSD sizes available: 250GB and 1TB. The smaller 250GB size has been tested and is what is pictured below. The Framework Laptop will boot off of these drives and into %%FreeBSD%% exactly as expected.

==== Ethernet ====

This is a [[/RealTek|RealTek]] USB Multi-gig Ethernet module with support for up to 2.5gbps connectivity. Unlike other modules, this one comes in a clear frosted plastic housing, and sticks out the side of the [[/FrameWork|FrameWork]] laptop to accommodate the RJ45 Ethernet jack.
