The Framework Laptop 13 Pro marks a significant upgrade from the original Laptop 13, which has been in the market for five years. This new model introduces the latest Core Ultra Series 3 processors, including the Core Ultra 5 325 and Core Ultra X7 358H, providing enhanced performance. Notably, it is Framework's first laptop to feature a touchscreen and comes in a new black aluminum finish. The Laptop 13 Pro has a slightly larger battery and weighs 1.4kg (about 3 pounds), making it competitive with other laptops in its class, such as the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro at 1.55kg. While some component compatibility is sacrificed, users can still interchange displays and motherboards between the two models. The pricing for the Laptop 13 Pro starts at $1,199 for a DIY edition without RAM or SSD, with a prebuilt version available for $1,499 with Ubuntu Linux. A higher-end Core Ultra X9 388H version is priced at $1,799.
