Let’s examine the latest available release (for the Framework Laptop 13, AMD Ryzen 7040 series, and Intel 13th Gen). The PDF files are typically 40–60 pages long, divided into hierarchical sections.

This is unique to Framework. The document details the pinout for the four Expansion Card slots. This has empowered third-party developers to create custom cards—including 10GbE adapters, external GPU docks, and even SDR radio modules—by following the exact USB-C alternate mode mapping provided in the schematic.

Headline: You now own your laptop’s DNA.

Body: Framework has done it again. The company known for modular laptops just released official schematics for their most popular mainboards.

What you get:

Why you should care: Even if you aren't an electrical engineer, this changes the secondary market. Broken Framework laptops will no longer be "parts only"—they will be "fixable." It creates a future where a skilled technician can resurrect a dead board with a soldering iron and a magnifying glass.

This is the opposite of planned obsolescence.
