Summary

  • Framework’s Laptop 13 is a modular, repairable laptop with an upgradeable CPU, and as such, it’s unique among Windows laptops and markedly different from Apple’s macOS offerings.
  • Those who buy a Laptop 13 in 2025 can upgrade their CPU, for example, without having to buy a whole new machine, as purchasers of the 2025 model can swap in a new mainboard and processor.
  • The Laptop 13 is otherwise a well-built if somewhat unremarkable Windows laptop, with a 13.5-inch 120Hz display, AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, and 32GB of RAM.
  • While reviewers praised its SSD and RAM slots, expansion card modules, and repairability, the Laptop 13’s display is lacklustre and its trackpad feels cheap.
