No Chromebook using 13th gen Intel or AMD has been announced as far as I’m aware. The listing I see on Framework’s site is for the older 12th gen Intel-based version - Effectively a 12th gen FW13 with ChromeOS installed.
With most Chromebooks being built around junk PC hardware costing under $600 Framework’s $1000 option was an outlier. I do wonder what demand/sales were like, whether interest high enough to justify an updated version. Suppose we’ll find out if/when a new model is announced.
Chromebooks, the forced demands to buy them over other options, are among the reasons I’m happy to not have kids (let alone in public schools).
When you do pay for a Chromebook be sure to check where it is in Google’s support lifecycle. There’s apparently been issues with hardware either already at or very near EOL still being sold for hundreds of dollars.
Thanks. 12th gen would be ok for me, but I can’t find a place where I can buy it. I’ve seen reviews from 2022 feb. so I dont know… Do you know if I buy a normal 12th gen Framework, can I install chromebook firmware? as far I can tell only the keyboard and the firmware are the differences. I’d rather pay 1k for a framework and have the option to upgrade the motherboard than €400 eur for some junk that eol after a few years
