US-backed framework sparks renewed clashes as Israel expands footprint in southern Lebanon

Israel carried out air strikes in southern Lebanon, killing at least one person, as Hezbollah rejected a US-brokered four-point peace framework that would transfer exclusive security control of vacated areas to the Lebanese army while allowing Israel to maintain an expanded security zone; Netanyahu called the agreement historic, Israel says it will extend its stay, and Hezbollah vows continued resistance amid ongoing cross-border violence.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro shipments push to July due to hardware fixes

Framework says the first Laptop 13 Pro shipments will now start in July (with some batches possibly slipping to early August or later) after fixes to a grounding issue in the new haptic trackpad require a redesigned circuit board, and a display firmware bug necessitates updated firmware from CSOT. Preorders without the affected components are still shipping on time, and customers can cancel for a full deposit refund if the delay is an issue.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro proves Linux niche is mainstream as Ubuntu outsells Windows

Framework says its Laptop 13 Pro, optimized for Linux, is selling far above forecast with the first seven batches sold out; Ubuntu configurations are outselling Windows, and the company emphasizes Linux-ready design and modular repairability. The DIY edition can ship with Windows or no OS, while the pre-built model offers Windows 11 Pro or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The DIY option can be configured up to Core Ultra X9 388H with up to 64GB RAM, while the current pre-built ships with Ultra X7 358H, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage, a 74Wh battery and a 2.8K touchscreen. Batch 8 is already in the works, underscoring growing Linux demand in premium laptops.

Framework Laptop Pro 13 hands-on: a modular upgrade that finally feels premium

Hands-on coverage highlights Framework’s complete redesign in the Laptop Pro 13: it keeps the modular, repairable chassis but adds a 13.5-inch touch display (2880x1920) with a 30-120 Hz refresh range, and easier replaceable parts for RAM, storage, and more. The result is a premium-feeling laptop aimed at power users and developers, with upgradeability and repairability as its core selling points, while keeping a similar look to the original, but with a noticeably improved display and build.
