Description

Is the $1,499 Framework Laptop 13 Pro the "MacBook Pro for Linux users"? I'm not sure -- but it's the best-feeling modular laptop the company's yet made! The first-for-Framework CNC machined aluminum chassis is a huge part of that. We got to give it a spin, even tear it down, and the touchpad and keyboard feel pretty dang good without interfering with modularity. Will the new Core Ultra Series 3, LPCAMM2 memory and larger battery add up to MacBook Pro beating battery life and performance? We'll have to wait and see in a full review after it launches in June.
