Overview
- Framework says demand for the new Laptop 13 Pro is far above forecast, with the first six preorder batches already sold out.
- The company reports Ubuntu configurations are outselling Windows builds, a rare outcome for a mainstream laptop release.
- The 13 Pro’s modular, repairable design and strong Linux support are drawing a buyer mix that skews toward Linux users.
- Early hands-on reports from GloriousEggRoll and the CachyOS team cite smooth Linux performance and striking battery life, with CachyOS claiming about two days after Intel-LPMD tuning.
- Independent hardware testing, including gaming endurance, has not been completed yet, and Framework plans to ship early orders in June.
