\n Meet the Framework Laptop 13 Pro
\n Framework Laptop 16 updates \u2014\u00a0plus an OCuLink Dev Kit in the works
\n Coming soon: The Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard<\/p>\n

The modular PC maker Framework unveiled several new products during its jam-packed [Next Gen] Event livestream Tuesday \u2014 including the new Laptop 13 Pro, its take on a repairable MacBook Pro. <\/p>\n

The Laptop 13 Pro is Framework’s fourth laptop since its founding in 2020,\u00a0when it launched the original Laptop 13. And, “In many ways, this product has been six years in the making,” company founder Nirav Patel wrote in a blog post. “We\u2019ve taken all of the feedback you\u2019ve given us on the first seven generations of Framework Laptop 13 to make this the ultimate portable developer and power user machine,” Patel said.<\/p>\n

Laptop 13 Pro preorders are now open on Framework’s website, starting at $1,199 for the build-your-own “DIY Edition” and $1,499 for pre-built configurations, including options that are pre-loaded with Ubuntu for Linux users. The first wave of shipments will go out in June.<\/p>\n

Framework also revealed updates to the gaming-ready Laptop 16, a new OCuLink Dev Kit, and a new wireless keyboard during its livestream. Along with the Laptop 13 Pro, they “represent a step change in our capabilities” and fulfill recurring customer requests, Patel said. “We have the scale and resources to build the products you want from us and to deliver on our mission of remaking consumer electronics.”<\/p>\n

Read on for a closer look at all of the announcements. <\/p>\n
