When I ask what “Pro” means if not the visual designer pros who buy MacBooks, Patel says it’s about building “the ultimate developer laptop,” one that developers will compare to the MacBook Pro.

“If you’re a developer who’s coding all day long, we want this to be the perfect laptop for you,” he says.

Framework is opening preorders for the Framework Laptop 13 Pro today, so you should soon be able to see full pricing at its website, including for versions with Core Ultra X7 and X9 variants that’ll have enough Intel Xe3 GPU cores to carve through some modern games on battery — we saw one playing Cyberpunk 2077 at around 70fps, with a lot of help from adaptive upscaling. The company plans to ship the first batch of laptops in June, and says it’ll only have a small batch of Intel X9 to start.

Hardware is very hard. So, I’m sending nothing but good vibes to Framework and wish them incredible success. Framework was present as a Linux alternative and been a great steward. Good luck, folks!
