Overview
- Framework opened preorders Tuesday for the Laptop 13 Pro, with DIY from $1,199, prebuilt Ubuntu from $1,499, and Windows from $1,699, and first shipments planned for June.
- The ground-up redesign adds Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with optional AMD Ryzen AI 300 mainboards, a 13.5-inch 3:2 touch display with 30–120Hz variable refresh, and a new haptic trackpad.
- Framework claims roughly 20 hours of 4K Netflix streaming from the larger 74Wh battery, a figure it says edges the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro in that test, though independent reviews are still pending.
- Parts remain swappable across generations, and the move to LPCAMM2 keeps RAM upgradeable with 16–64GB modules that Framework says it will stock through its Marketplace after working with suppliers like Micron.
- The company also expanded its ecosystem with an OCuLink developer kit for high‑bandwidth eGPUs on the Laptop 16, one‑piece haptic touchpad and keyboard modules for a cleaner look, and a new wireless touchpad keyboard.
