The DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard is the first independently developed RISC-V mainboard compatible with the Framework Laptop 13. Created by DeepComputing in partnership with StarFive and Framework, it is powered by a StarFive JH7110 SoC with a 64-bit quad-core RISC-V CPU and is available both as a standalone mainboard and in a fully built Framework Laptop 13 RISC-V Edition.
The DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard II (also called the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC) is the second-generation RISC-V mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13 by DeepComputing. Powered by an ESWIN EIC7702X SoC with a dual-die 8-core SiFive P550 CPU and a 40 TOPS NPU, it is the world's first RISC-V AI PC capable of running large language models locally.
The DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III is the third-generation RISC-V mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13 by DeepComputing. Powered by the SpacemiT K3 SoC — the world's first RISC-V SoC supporting the RVA23 profile — it features an 8-core CPU up to 2.5 GHz and a 30 TOPS NPU.
The FrameDeck is an open-source handheld gaming PC powered by the Framework Laptop 13 mainboard, created by Steven Bergeron Meza (redglitch2) and announced in January 2024. Inspired by the Valve Steam Deck, it repurposes a Framework 13 mainboard, battery, and other components into a 3D-printed portable gaming form factor with hot-swappable mechanical face buttons, analog joysticks and triggers, and a 7-inch 1200p touchscreen.
The Framework AIO is a 3D-printed all-in-one desktop computer built from Framework Laptop 13 parts, created by Michael Armstrong (whatthefilament) in January 2023. The project converts a Framework Laptop into an iMac-style desktop by housing the mainboard, display, speakers, webcam, and expansion cards in a custom 3D-printed enclosure. Design files, STLs, and assembly instructions are available on GitHub under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license.
The Framework Cyberdeck is a custom slab-style portable PC built from Framework Laptop 13 parts, created by Ben (Ben Makes Everything) and published in October 2023. Inspired by the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 and cyberpunk aesthetics, it houses a Framework 11th Gen mainboard, battery, speakers, and expansion cards in a 3D-printed and CNC-milled aluminum chassis with a flip-up 8:3 widescreen display.
The Framework Tablet is a 3D-printable tablet case that converts a Framework Laptop 13 into a tablet form factor. Created by Michael Armstrong (whatthefilament) in April 2022, it reuses as many OEM Framework parts as possible — mainboard, battery, speakers, Wi-Fi antenna, and expansion cards — paired with a 12.3-inch portable USB-C touchscreen display. The project was featured by Framework on Twitter, covered by Hackaday, PC Gamer, Liliputing, PCWorld, and others.
The Input Connector Shim is a tiny PCB by CRImier (Arya) that plugs into the Framework mainboard's input connector, exposing an external power button, a USB 2.0 port, and connections for keyboard backlight, Caps Lock, and fingerprint LEDs — without sacrificing a USB-C port.
Mainboard Terminal is a retro-futuristic all-in-one computer built around a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard, featuring a distinctive 5-inch round LCD display. Created by hardware designer Penk Chen — a self-described digital nomad from Taiwan based in Tokyo, known for the CutiePi tablet, Penkesu Computer, and Rasti Computer — the project was inspired by early computer terminals that used circular cathode-ray tube oscilloscope displays.
Mattbook is an ultra-portable computer (UMPC) built around a Framework Laptop 13 mainboard, developed by community member 2disbetter (Matt) in collaboration with hardware designer Penk Chen — known for the Penkesu Computer, Mainboard Terminal, and Rasti Computer. The project packs a full Framework 13 mainboard with a 13th-gen Intel i7-1370P, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD into a paperback-sized CNC aluminium enclosure measuring 265 × 152 × 56 mm.
The MetaComputing AI PC Mainboard is the first Arm-based third-party mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13. Developed by Switzerland-based MetaComputing in collaboration with CIX Technology and announced in December 2025, it is powered by the CIX CP8180 (CIX P1) SoC with a 12-core Arm CPU and a 45 TOPS NPU.
The Rackmount Modular Framework Server is a community project to design 3D-printable rack-mount enclosures for Framework Laptop mainboards, enabling their reuse as homelab servers, Kubernetes clusters, and NAS devices. Started by n3rding in May 2022, the project has inspired multiple community builds including Andy Clemenko's 6-node "BladeRunner" cluster and Fady's "FrameCluster" 10-node design.
Rasti Computer is a retro-futuristic clamshell laptop inspired by the iconic 1982 GRiD Compass — widely considered the first clamshell-style laptop, famously used by NASA's Space Shuttle program. Created by hardware designer Penk Chen (penk), it repurposes a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard, battery, WiFi module, and antenna inside a fully 3D-printed enclosure with a custom mechanical keyboard.
The ThinkPad 701C Framework Transplant is a project by Karl Buchka (Karl_Buchka) that installs a Framework Laptop 13 mainboard into the chassis of an IBM ThinkPad 701C "Butterfly" — a compact subnotebook from 1995 famous for its expanding butterfly keyboard. First posted in February 2023, the project features a fully functional original keyboard and TrackPoint, an iPad 7 display panel, and a custom integration board — all fitting within the original 701C's 10-inch footprint. Framework CEO Nirav Patel gave the project a shoutout during a live Q&A in June 2023.
