Framework Laptop 13 Pro: Aiming To Be One Of The Best Upgradeable Linux Laptops Review

Framework Computer's new Laptop 13 Pro is a ground-up redesign featuring a CNC aluminum chassis, LPCAMM2 memory support (up to 64GB at 7467 MT/s), a 74Wh battery, haptic touchpad, and Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake SoCs with Arc B390 integrated graphics. The chassis weighs 1.4kg and maintains cross-generation component compatibility with prior Framework models. Linux compatibility is strong on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Fedora 44, and Arch Linux with the Linux 7.0 kernel. Battery life is notably improved over prior generations. One quirk noted: using a third-party USB-C charger capped SoC power draw at 6W, causing significant performance degradation — the included Framework charger resolves this. Firmware updates are supported via LVFS/Fwupd.
