Framework’s Pro Laptop Bets on Linux, Touchscreen and Easy Upgrades

Framework unveils the Laptop 13 Pro, a highly repairable, modular notebook that now adds a touchscreen and ships with Linux pre-installed (Ubuntu option) or Windows 11. It offers Intel Core Ultra or Ryzen 300‑series CPUs, promises longer battery life (up to ~20 hours in streaming tests), and preserves upgrade paths via replaceable mainboard/keyboard and expansion bays. Ubuntu models start at $1,500, with Windows configurations around $1,700, targeting power users who want to ditch Windows.
