Starting at $999, the system is very much at the high end of the Chromebook pricing section, coming in at nearly double systems from companies like Samsung. It\u2019s instead priced to compete with the likes of Google\u2019s own Pixelbook.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, user repairability and customization should \u2014 and do \u2014 mean a lot to many consumers. One could certainly make a convincing argument that you\u2019re getting a lot of bang for your buck with a system that can be kept alive longer than a pre-fab laptop.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2402378\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2402378\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2402378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/gp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/blog2214-Introducing-the-Framework-Laptop-Chromebook-Edition-04-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"747\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2402378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong> Framework<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Devin had some nice things to say about the standard system, noting, \u201cif you think about that money [\u2026] as the beginning of an investment, and one that will prevent you from having to buy another computer 3-4 years from now, it starts to make more sense.\u201d Of course, regular system starts a more affordable $819.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2402382\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2402382\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2402382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/gp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FW-chromebook-carrying-laptop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2402382\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong> Framework<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of the pricing, the company tells :<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition takes the same i5-1240P processor with 4+8 cores running at up to 30W that we have in the Base version of the Framework Laptop (12th Gen Intel Core), with a starting price that is $50 lower.
