Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro including full Linux support right from the beginning.

Some quick information about the Device:

  • will use Intel Core Ultra 300 (Panther-Lake)
  • updated Battery Design with (up to) 20h Battery life
  • custom designed Display Panel with Touch support (keeping the 3:2 aspect ratio)
  • LPCAMM2 for upgradable/replacable RAM without compromising on Speed/Low Power of LPDDR5X
  • milled Aluminium Unibody chassis
  • Full Linux support right from the start (including Firmware update via LVFS, Fingerprint Reader, etc.)
  • Haptic Touchpad
  • and all the repairability features Framework is known for

You can watch their YouTube Video for a quick summary:

I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:

  • HP Elitebook X g1a
  • the new Dell XPS 14
  • Asus Expertbook PM5 G2

or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me. But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!

    I think framework are worthy of support even though the company is American.

    1. Regardless of who you buy from… Manufacture including assembly is done in east Asia. That’s where most of your money is going.
    2. Framework are not tech giants. They’re a small company battling giants.
    3. The ethos of ownership, repair and upgrade needs supporting.
    4. They’ve been following through on their promises.

    So yes, I’m not buying US goods as much as I can also. I make an exception for Framework. They’re the resistance in an occupied nation.

      There’s still benefits made, and it goes to a US company. Framework is obviously high quality and their approach is really laudable, but who says their employees won’t spend part of their salaries on Starbucks, McDonald or Coca-Cola. That’s how far current events made me go when purchasing literally anything. I just stopped buying my regular EU brand peanut butter because they source peanuts “from Argentina, India and… US”. Ok sorry for the rant. Anyway, Tuxedo looks good.

      The laptops are made and assembled in Taiwan and send directly from there to the consumer. At least if you order from Europe.

      Super valid approach! I’m not out here casting judgement on where people choose to throw their money in a situation like this. I think there’s plenty of nuance and room for different values to end up with different results.
