Today we’re excited to announce the newest version of Framework Laptop 13 with the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1 processors, an optional 13.5” 2880x1920 120 Hz display on both Intel and AMD systems, a new webcam with 9.2MP image sensor, and configurations designed for businesses and professionals with a 3-year warranty.  Pre-orders are open now, with shipments starting this August.  These are available in all 14 countries we’re currently in, and we’ll be launching in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark this June.  We’ve also permanently reduced the prices of our Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series) systems, making them more accessible than ever.

We designed Framework Laptop 13 to last, and we’re eager to make it better each year.  We’ve upgraded nearly every part since first shipping in 2021, and we read through press reviews and feedback constantly to find ways to improve it further.  Our focus this year is on refining the end-to-end experience for both current and new customers, making this the ideal laptop for Linux in addition to Windows, and enabling businesses to enter the world of repairable, customizable computing.  We’ve also revamped our software pipeline, with new firmware and driver releases now landing regularly for each product.

This is our fourth Framework Laptop 13 iteration with Intel processors, and we continue to optimize performance further each time.  With Intel Core Ultra Series 1, Intel delivered major improvements in efficiency and battery life, especially on use cases like video playback.  With a new graphics architecture, up to 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficient cores, and support for up to a massive 96 GB of DDR5 memory, the new generation drives productivity performance and a huge leap in gaming capability.  In integrating this processor, we’ve redesigned our thermal system and tuned fan control algorithms to keep the system cooler while reducing noise.

Por curiosidade, alguém tem um portátil Framework?  Têm experiência com Linux?

Usei desde sempre portáteis Mac.  Mas tenho cada vez mais dificuldade em fazer backup/restore do MacOS de forma manual (tendo acesso apenas aos ficheiros), o que associado ao facto de muitas reparações de Macs obrigarem a enviar o portátil para centros de reparação autorizados, torna falhas de hardware uma valente dor de cabeça (i.e. vários dias sem portátil).  Por isso ando cada vez mais inclinado para testar Linux num portátil, e a facilidade de reparação dos portáteis Framework é algo que me atrai...
