Framework Laptop 13 Pro review: Much better battery, much worse price
Summary
Ars Technica’s Framework Laptop 13 Pro review highlights a significant battery life improvement due to Panther Lake and the LPCAMM2 RAM, while noting the upgrade comes with a steep price. The redesign introduces a larger 74 Wh battery, a haptic trackpad, touchscreen support, and partial backward compatibility with older Laptop 13 components, but at the cost of higher overall expense and some compatibility considerations. Linux preinstall options are presented as a notable plus for Linux users, with official support for multiple distributions.
