Can a Repairable Laptop Finally Beat Apple? Framework 13 Pro Teardown
For years, buying a laptop meant making a choice.If you wanted incredible battery life, premium build quality, and top-tier performance, Apple's MacBooks were the benchmark.
But if you wanted a laptop you could actually repair, upgrade, and keep running for years, Framework stood alone.
With the new Framework Laptop 13 Pro, Framework says you no longer have to choose.
In this teardown, we take apart Framework's latest laptop to see what's changed. From the new 74.5Wh battery and Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors to socketed LPCAMM2 memory, a 2.8K touchscreen, haptic trackpad, and an all-new CNC-machined chassis, we're looking at every upgrade that makes this Framework's most ambitious laptop yet.
Most importantly, does Framework manage all of this without sacrificing the repairability and modularity that made the company famous?
Join us as we completely disassemble the Framework Laptop 13 Pro and see why it once again earns a perfect 10/10 repairability score.
