Speculation abounds regarding the specifics of these new products. The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/news/610312/framework-february-25th-2nd-gen-event) has suggested a potential 2-in-1 Chromebook with a 360-degree hinge, inspired by the presence of a multi-colored beachball emoji. This design would allow for versatile usage beyond the traditional clamshell laptop format.
Framework has confirmed that pre-orders for at least one of the new products will open on launch day. Interested customers are encouraged to create an account for early access.
This event marks Framework’s first major product launch in two years. Their previous releases, the Framework Laptop 16 and two Framework Laptop 13 models, debuted in March 2023. Since then, the company has focused on maintaining product relevance by incorporating the latest market components. Their 2022 release, the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition, was considered a significant innovation at the time.
