    I had to double-take because I thought this was their 12th model. But no, they just suck at product versioning, like every other tech company.

      I’m confused, do you have an example of a laptop that uses numbers for their model number iteration rather than their screen size or feature set?

      The number only indicate the screen size. The other two laptop models are the Framework 13 and 16. The only thing that made it confusing for you was your assumptions, since it all seems pretty straightforward to me.

        This naming scheme breaks down the moment they release another line of 12", 13", or 16" laptops. It’s a bad naming scheme.

          They wouldn’t because they don’t have the manufacturing capacity to dilute their product line like that. The whole concept of the Frameworks laptop is to keep as many parts as possible between generation so its always upgradeable between generation. We’ll see how well they can stay on this course.

        Yes i realised that after researching their product line. And there are currently 5 different 13’s, and seemingly no easy way to differentiate revisions without listing the complete specs.
        I just wish companies would make it easier to tell which of their products is newer/older.
        Eg: 13" 2021, 16" 2022, etc…
