In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, Dylan is joined by Nirav Patel, CEO and Founder of Framework. This startup makes durable laptops that are 100% upgradable and repairable while remaining aesthetically on par with top-of-the-line laptops. A longer use life means lower production volumes and lower CO2 release from the manufacture and distribution of the laptops.

Nirav is a computer engineer and an innovator at heart. He has worked with leading tech companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook. He was the lead engineer at Oculus VR and was directly responsible for the hardware architecture of the VR headsets. Framework results from his creative passion and desire to be environmentally responsible.
