Framework's Latest 13-Inch Laptop Includes Panther Lake Chip, Boosting Battery Life

The redesign adds Framework’s first touchscreen, a larger battery and Core Ultra Series 3 chips, with DIY pricing starting at $1,199.

  • On Tuesday, Framework announced the Laptop 13 Pro, featuring Intel's Panther Lake Core Ultra Series 3 processors and the company's first 13.5-inch touchscreen display.
  • Built on six years of customer feedback, Framework CEO Nirav Patel designed the Pro model as the 'MacBook Pro for Linux users,' blending premium build with repairability.
  • Starting at $1,199 for DIY editions and $1,499 for prebuilt models, the laptop includes a 74Wh battery that Framework claims can support 20 hours of 4K Netflix streaming.
  • Preorders open today with shipments beginning in June; the design maintains backward compatibility with existing Framework Laptop 13 components, allowing upgrades to older models.
  • By incorporating a fully machined 6000-series aluminum chassis and haptic touchpad, Framework positions the device to compete directly with Apple's recently released MacBook Pros.
