“There is no such thing as “the MacBook Pro for Linux.” The Framework Laptop 13 Pro is much more than that oxymoron of a sentiment may imply. The modular, repairable, and now fully Linux-native Framework Laptop 13 Pro is the best laptop-lover’s laptop I’ve ever used. That doesn’t mean it’s an especially easy clamshell to slot into your life as you would the same old MacBook every year.”

Perfect 4.5/5

“However, with the memory crisis driving up prices for many PC components, Framework's latest flagship laptop almost works better as a statement on what's possible in laptop engineering than as an actual product to buy.”

“This design is far and away better than its existing chassis, but launching a laptop based on repairability when parts for it are extremely expensive puts the Laptop 13 Pro out of reach for many.”

Acclaimed 3.5/5
