Biometrics

Framework Laptop 12
1

I just went through the specs and noticed two issues for me; no backlit keyboard and and no biometrics.

There’s another thread about backlit keyboard, so I’ll add my five cents regarding that in that thread. I could not find a thread regarding the biometrics though, hence this thread.

Since Framework’s devices are built with repairs and upgrades in mind, I’m guessing it’s not completely out of the question that there will be upgrades available with support for biometrics somewhere down the line? A keyboard with a fingerprint sensor and/or a webcam with support for Windows Hello (coupled with a different display frame to fit the hardware, if necessary) would nice options to have.

I know that Framework typically doesn’t publish future plans, so consider this another thing on the wishlist for future upgrades.

I sent an email to support regarding this and backlit keyboard, and got the following response.

Furthermore, we understand that you would like to see a Framework Laptop 12 with Fingerprint Reader, backlit keyboard and Windows Hello.

For now, these are not available. While we cannot promise or speculate on the possibility of including these in future iterations of our product, we appreciate your suggestion and will pass these along to the appropriate department.
