Framework, the pioneer of repairable hardware, has announced a significant expansion of its portfolio with the launch of the Laptop 13 Pro. This new 13-inch notebook utilizes a powerful architecture, offering customers a choice between Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors (featuring Arc B390 graphics) and AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPUs. A key technical highlight is the implementation of LPCAMM2 memory with LPDDR5X-7467, promising high energy efficiency combined with impressive speeds.
Beyond raw processing power, Framework has placed a strong emphasis on mobility. By integrating a larger 74Wh battery, the device is designed to achieve runtimes of up to 20 hours, representing a substantial increase in power efficiency over previous generations. For users requiring cutting-edge connectivity, the laptop includes Wi-Fi 7, while official Ubuntu certification positions the device as an attractive option for the open-source community.
Staying true to its core philosophy, the device remains highly modular. The Laptop 13 Pro features a design compatible with the previous generation, allowing users to retain and reuse existing components rather than discarding them. This approach underscores the company's commitment to reducing electronic waste and promoting sustainable computing technology.
Alongside the introduction of the 13-inch model, Framework is also upgrading its larger Laptop 16. The larger model will now feature OCuLink 8i ports, enabling extremely high bandwidth for external storage or GPUs. These hardware enhancements are further complemented by new haptic input modules, designed to make the user experience more precise and modern.
