The Framework Laptop 12, updated. Up to 70% longer battery life. Fingerprint reader in the power button. Backlit keyboard with open source ZMK. Intel® Core™ Series 3 (Wildcat Lake), now with Core 7. Thunderbolt 4 for eGPU. And a Fedora Linux pre-built configuration. Pre-orders open now: frame.work

The fingerprint reader is the number one missing feature of the original Laptop 12. I was super hopeful that y'all would announce a fingerprint module that could slot into one of the expansion bays. Feels slightly counter to the upgradable ethos to require all new internals for this.

The fingerprint reader is backwards compatible with the original Framework Laptop 12 so you can order just the FPR from the marketplace if that’s all you want to upgrade
