Like the regular Framework Laptop, which has been announced to be powered by the latest 12th Gen Intel Core P-series processors back in May, the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition is totally configurable too.
The laptop has four user-selectable Expansion slots which you can configure with 4 or more Expansion Cards with I/Os ranging from USB-C and USB-A ports to HDMI to card reader – the choice is yours. A 3.5mm combo headphone jack comes as standard, btw.
You may ask. How is it that it has 4 Expansion slots but you can configure it with more than 4 Expansion Cards? Well, it can accept 4 at any one time, so there is swapping of Expansion Cards involved if you have more than 4.

In addition to the I/Os, there are Storage Expansion Cards which you can choose from 250 GB and 1 TB for those who need additional storage.
Other fixed spec-sheet details include i5-1240P (up to 4.4 GHz, 4+8 cores), 8 GB DDR4-3200, 256 GB storage, 1080p 60fps camera, backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 6E, stereo 2W speakers with improved 80dB loudness, dual MEMS microphone with hardware privacy switch, a 55Wh battery, and a 60W USB-C power adapter.
It is basically the Framework Laptop we featured here last year but powered by the latest 12th Intel chip, and runs on Chrome OS.
