Framework founder says that ‘personal computing as we know it is dead’ — vows to keep building ‘computers that you can own at the deepest level’

Framework founder Nirav Patel believes that personal computing is facing a significant shift due to the dominance of AI companies in the tech industry, leading to shortages in memory, storage chips, and processors. Patel expressed concerns about the industry's focus on cloud computing over personal devices, emphasizing the need for consumer-owned hardware. Despite challenges, Framework remains committed to creating repairable, upgradable laptops that empower users to fully own their computing experience. The company's manifesto pledges to continue advocating for a future where individuals have control over their technology.
