Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 proces­sors

The Framework Laptop 13 Pro runs on Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 proces­sors, un­lock­ing 20 hours of bat­tery ϟ life, up to 64GB of LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X mem­ory, and sup­port for up to 8TB of PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe stor­age. It’s de­signed to stay re­spon­sive un­der sus­tained, heavy work­loads.

Power-efficient mem­ory, made up­grade­able

We’re among the first to pair Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 with LPCAMM2. A high-den­sity in­ter­poser en­ables LPDDR5X in a mod­u­lar form, de­liv­er­ing 7467 MT/s and high per­for­mance per watt with­out sol­der­ing it down.

A lap­top that you own

You can cus­tomize it,

Pick your ports with the Framework Expansion Card sys­tem and in­stall them di­rectly into your lap­top with­out re­ly­ing on ex­ter­nal adapters. The mag­net-at­tach Bezel lets you cus­tomize with bold or translu­cent color op­tions.

re­pair it,

A truly easy-to-re­pair lap­top that’s built to re­spect your rights. Just scan the QR codes, fol­low the guides, and re­place any part with a sin­gle tool that’s in­cluded in the box.

up­grade it.

When you’re ready for more per­for­mance, you can up­grade in­di­vid­ual com­po­nents in­stead of re­plac­ing your en­tire lap­top. Install a new Mainboard for gen­er­a­tional proces­sor up­grades, add mem­ory to han­dle heav­ier work­loads, or ex­pand your stor­age to in­crease ca­pac­ity or en­able dual boot­ing. The Framework Marketplace makes it easy to find the com­pat­i­ble parts you need.

Runs Linux. Really well.

(you can also use Windows 11 if you want)

We don’t just sup­port Linux; we live in it. Framework Laptop 13 Pro with Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 is our first Ubuntu Certified sys­tem. We seed de­vel­op­ment hard­ware and pro­vide fund­ing to a range of other dis­tros like Fedora, Bazzite, NixOS, CachyOS, and more to en­sure re­li­able sup­port.

A sen­sory up­grade

13.5″ 2880x1920 Touchscreen Display

A cus­tom 13.5″ 3:2 touch­screen dis­play with sharp 2880×1920 res­o­lu­tion gives you the ver­ti­cal space you need for cod­ing and pro­duc­tiv­ity. A 30 – 120Hz vari­able re­fresh rate keeps mo­tion smooth while op­ti­miz­ing power, and with up to 700nits of bright­ness and a matte sur­face, it stays clear across a wide range of light­ing con­di­tions.

A hap­tic touch­pad that beats your ex­pec­ta­tions

The large 123.7mm × 76.7mm Haptic Touchpad, pow­ered by four piezo­elec­tric ac­tu­a­tors, de­liv­ers con­sis­tent, high-qual­ity clicks across the sur­face. Feedback and ges­tures are fully tun­able, so you can set it up ex­actly how you want.

The key­board you love, now even bet­ter

With 1.5mm of key travel, the key­board de­liv­ers deeper, more tac­tile feed­back than most mod­ern lap­tops with­out in­creas­ing noise. A CNC alu­minum Input Cover Frame re­duces deck flex for a more solid and con­sis­tent feel. Available in mul­ti­ple ANSI and ISO lay­outs, in black, black with laven­der, and black with gray and or­ange.

Dolby Atmos® au­dio

The side-fir­ing speak­ers are tuned with Dolby Atmos® to de­liver clear, bal­anced au­dio on Windows, ideal for calls or mu­sic while you work.

Thin, light, and fully alu­minum

At just 15.85mm thick and 1.4kg, gain­ing dura­bil­ity does­n’t mean los­ing porta­bil­ity. The Top Cover, Input Cover, and Bottom Cover are now CNC ma­chined from 6063 alu­minum, in­creas­ing rigid­ity and dura­bil­ity.

Open source ecosys­tems

We’ve open sourced de­sign files and doc­u­men­ta­tion for many core com­po­nents and firmware on GitHub, giv­ing you the free­dom to mod­ify, ex­tend, or re­pur­pose them.

Respecting your pri­vacy

Privacy switches

Your pri­vacy is pro­tected at a hard­ware level, with phys­i­cal switches that elec­tri­cally cut off the we­b­cam and mi­cro­phones when­ever you need.

No crap­ware

We hate soft­ware bloat as much as you do. Our pre-builts ship with Ubuntu or stock Windows 11 plus the nec­es­sary dri­vers, and our DIY Edition lets you bring whichever op­er­at­ing sys­tem you’d like.

The choice is yours

Framework Laptop 13 Pro is avail­able pre-built with Windows or Ubuntu pre-in­stalled, or as a DIY Edition that lets you in­stall the op­er­at­ing sys­tem of your choice.

Upgrade, cus­tomize, and re­pair

Laws of Software Engineering

Organizations de­sign sys­tems that mir­ror their own com­mu­ni­ca­tion struc­ture.

Premature op­ti­miza­tion is the root of all evil.

With a suf­fi­cient num­ber of API users, all ob­serv­able be­hav­iors of your sys­tem will be de­pended on by some­body.

Leave the code bet­ter than you found it.

YAGNI (You Aren’t Gonna Need It)

Don’t add func­tion­al­ity un­til it is nec­es­sary.

Adding man­power to a late soft­ware pro­ject makes it later.

A com­plex sys­tem that works is in­vari­ably found to have evolved from a sim­ple sys­tem that worked.

All non-triv­ial ab­strac­tions, to some de­gree, are leaky.

Every ap­pli­ca­tion has an in­her­ent amount of ir­re­ducible com­plex­ity that can only be shifted, not elim­i­nated.

A dis­trib­uted sys­tem can guar­an­tee only two of: con­sis­tency, avail­abil­ity, and par­ti­tion tol­er­ance.

Small, suc­cess­ful sys­tems tend to be fol­lowed by ov­erengi­neered, bloated re­place­ments.

A set of eight false as­sump­tions that new dis­trib­uted sys­tem de­sign­ers of­ten make.

Every pro­gram at­tempts to ex­pand un­til it can read mail.

There is a cog­ni­tive limit of about 150 sta­ble re­la­tion­ships one per­son can main­tain.

The square root of the to­tal num­ber of par­tic­i­pants does 50% of the work.

Those who un­der­stand tech­nol­ogy don’t man­age it, and those who man­age it don’t un­der­stand it.

In a hi­er­ar­chy, every em­ployee tends to rise to their level of in­com­pe­tence.

The min­i­mum num­ber of team mem­bers whose loss would put the pro­ject in se­ri­ous trou­ble.

Companies tend to pro­mote in­com­pe­tent em­ploy­ees to man­age­ment to limit the dam­age they can do.

Work ex­pands to fill the time avail­able for its com­ple­tion.

The first 90% of the code ac­counts for the first 90% of de­vel­op­ment time; the re­main­ing 10% ac­counts for the other 90%.

It al­ways takes longer than you ex­pect, even when you take into ac­count Hofstadter’s Law.

When a mea­sure be­comes a tar­get, it ceases to be a good mea­sure.

Anything you need to quan­tify can be mea­sured in some way bet­ter than not mea­sur­ing it.

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Be con­ser­v­a­tive in what you do, be lib­eral in what you ac­cept from oth­ers.

Technical Debt is every­thing that slows us down when de­vel­op­ing soft­ware.

Given enough eye­balls, all bugs are shal­low.

Debugging is twice as hard as writ­ing the code in the first place.

A pro­ject should have many fast unit tests, fewer in­te­gra­tion tests, and only a small num­ber of UI tests.

Repeatedly run­ning the same tests be­comes less ef­fec­tive over time.

Software that re­flects the real world must evolve, and that evo­lu­tion has pre­dictable lim­its.

90% of every­thing is crap.

The speedup from par­al­leliza­tion is lim­ited by the frac­tion of work that can­not be par­al­lelized.

It is pos­si­ble to achieve sig­nif­i­cant speedup in par­al­lel pro­cess­ing by in­creas­ing the prob­lem size.

The value of a net­work is pro­por­tional to the square of the num­ber of users.

Every piece of knowl­edge must have a sin­gle, un­am­bigu­ous, au­thor­i­ta­tive rep­re­sen­ta­tion.

Designs and sys­tems should be as sim­ple as pos­si­ble.

Five main guide­lines that en­hance soft­ware de­sign, mak­ing code more main­tain­able and scal­able.

An ob­ject should only in­ter­act with its im­me­di­ate friends, not strangers.

Software and in­ter­faces should be­have in a way that least sur­prises users and other de­vel­op­ers.

The less you know about some­thing, the more con­fi­dent you tend to be.

Never at­tribute to mal­ice that which is ad­e­quately ex­plained by stu­pid­ity or care­less­ness.

The sim­plest ex­pla­na­tion is of­ten the most ac­cu­rate one.

Sticking with a choice be­cause you’ve in­vested time or en­ergy in it, even when walk­ing away helps you.

The Map Is Not the Territory

Our rep­re­sen­ta­tions of re­al­ity are not the same as re­al­ity it­self.

A ten­dency to fa­vor in­for­ma­tion that sup­ports our ex­ist­ing be­liefs or ideas.

We tend to over­es­ti­mate the ef­fect of a tech­nol­ogy in the short run and un­der­es­ti­mate the im­pact in the long run.

The longer some­thing has been in use, the more likely it is to con­tinue be­ing used.

Breaking a com­plex prob­lem into its most ba­sic blocks and then build­ing up from there.

Solving a prob­lem by con­sid­er­ing the op­po­site out­come and work­ing back­ward from it.

80% of the prob­lems re­sult from 20% of the causes.

The best way to get the cor­rect an­swer on the Internet is not to ask a ques­tion, it’s to post the wrong an­swer.
