THIS is a laptop built VERY differently!! The new Framework Laptop 13 Pro isn't just another thin and light Windows machine. **Remember the Model I am reviewing is the $2400+ Version with Intel Ultra 325H, 32GB RAM and 1TB NVME 32GB RAM and 1TB NVME** It's designed around developers, AI workloads, Linux, repairability and something almost every modern laptop has forgotten about: UPGRADABILITY.
Inside you can configure the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, going all the way up to the powerful Core Ultra X9 388H, with Intel Arc B390 graphics and an NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.
But what makes the Framework really interesting is what happens AFTER you buy it.
Instead of soldering everything together and expecting you to replace the entire laptop in a few years, Framework lets you repair, replace and upgrade components. The new Intel version uses LPCAMM2 memory, with configurations up to 64GB, while storage can reach a massive 8TB. Even the ports are modular using Framework's Expansion Cards!
Then there's the display. You get a gorgeous 13.5-inch 2.8K touchscreen with a productivity-focused 3:2 aspect ratio, up to 120Hz refresh rate and 700 nits of typical brightness.
Framework has also increased the battery to 74.45Wh and claims up to an impressive 20 HOURS of battery life, while the whole machine still weighs around 1.4kg.
And for developers, there's another BIG advantage: Linux. Framework actively supports Linux distributions alongside Windows, making this an incredibly interesting machine for coding, development, local AI experimentation and anyone who wants far more control over their hardware.
So is the Framework Laptop 13 Pro the ULTIMATE AI developer laptop? And more importantly, could buying an upgradeable laptop like THIS actually make more sense than replacing your entire MacBook or Windows laptop every few years?
Let's find out!!
