Framework Laptop 13 Review: Repairable Power

The Party Trick That Is Actually Useful

Swappable Expansion Cards click into the sides: USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, storage and more. You build the port layout you need today and change it tomorrow. Inside, the battery, screen, keyboard, memory and storage all come out with one screwdriver.

Everyday Power

With current Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen AI options, the Framework 13 handles office work, photo editing and light creation easily. It is not a gaming rig, and it does not pretend to be — it is a fast, honest everyday machine.

The Honest Trade-Offs

• Battery life is good, not class-leading
• Speakers and webcam are fine, not flagship
• You pay a premium over a sealed laptop with similar speed
• In return: repairs in minutes and upgrades instead of replacement
