Framework 12 Review: A Brilliant Idea—But Does It Deliver?

I’ve reviewed every product @frameworkcomputer has released—and I’ve always supported their mission of modularity, repairability, and the right to repair. But after testing the new Framework 12 2-in-1, I have some serious concerns. In this in-depth review, I break down the build quality, display, performance, battery life, thermal behavior, and overall value of the DIY Edition. Is it worth $800? Can it compete with today’s convertibles? Let’s find out. #FrameworkLaptop #RightToRepair #techreview
