The Framework 13 Pro is VERY tempting. It is as close to a “perfect” laptop as I have seen, at least for me.

I can whole-heartedly recommend the FW13. I’ve been running my FW13 with the midrange AMD 7040 chip for a little over two years now and can confidently say it’s the best all around laptop I’ve ever had. Running Linux on hardware that treats Linux as a first-class citizen is a game changer. Can’t wait to swap out my chassis for the pro version.

Just make sure to put your pre-orders in early otherwise you’ll be waiting a while, Framework fulfills new release orders in batches.

We talked about it with Nirav Patel, frame.work’s founder, on Wednesday’s Intelligent Machines! Big fan of all their stuff.
