“A computer should be yours”: Framework CEO calls out MacBook Neo design - Notebookcheck
Overview
Framework CEO Nirav Patel posted a teardown comparing Apple's $599 MacBook Neo with the Framework Laptop 12, arguing they embody opposing design philosophies: Apple’s Neo favors a streamlined, price-focused approach while Framework prioritizes modularity and user repairability. The company’s new Laptop 13 Pro — a CNC-aluminum, upgradeable model pitched against M5 MacBook Pro-class machines and aimed at Linux users — shows Framework is bringing its repair-first approach into the premium segment. The Neo’s sellout through April suggests many buyers prioritize upfront value and performance over repairability, though Framework continues to offer an ownership-focused alternative.
