Introducing the NEW 2024 Framework Laptop 13 (Intel Core Ultra Series 1)

[@brielov]

Call me crazy but I enjoyed more watching this dude (CEO) talking to a phone while explaining the product than watching a million dollar apple keynote with drones, special effects, etc.

[@kbhasi]

I can't easily put my response into words, but it's as though Framework went for more of a down-to-earth look with their video.

[@joshuatk59]

Completely agree. It’s way more personal and you get a sense of genuine pride in the product and Framework as a company. It’s that same feel when an indie game dev releases an update and demonstrates the hard work they’ve put in to make the game the best version of itself. The future’s looking bright

[@robster7787]

To be absolutely fair, they are showcase to their respective markets. The framework laptop leans towards people that are technically inclined. Apple Keynotes are dumbed down to layman California speak. But I agree. Get rid of the marketing BS and just show us a product. If the simple minded cant understand it, a tech reviewer will explain it. Kinda sad really. The mass general market don’t even watch apple keynotes given how so many people don’t know about features that was blatantly explained to them. They just go for the tech reviewer to summarize it.

[@nathanbasset]

I get your point but it is a real camera, you can see it miss focus at a few points.

[@wereoctopus]

I used Macbooks as my main/only computer for about 13 years and never watched an Apple keynote during that time. Tech presentations of that nature are near-universally awful, whether they be Apple, AMD, Microsoft, Intel...

[@killua287]

My favourite feature of the framework: " btw you can just attach the newest display we have with any of the previous laptop version you have". Insane tech.

[@spdcrzy]

Yeah, I'm definitely ordering an upgraded display soon. I'm still on Ryzen, but the new specs are ABSURDLY good. And for $270, it's a STEAL. VRR up to 120Hz AND 2.8K?!? Nuts.

[@anthonyz2989]

It is excellent but we need to make sure we actually buy their products too so they survive. There is a reason the big guys do what they do, it sells stuff. So we, as this type of consumer, need to "vote with our wallets"

[@rkvkydqf]

@@anthonyz2989 Is it not a fallacy to say all big companies are what we wanted? The economy of scale alone probably shaves off enough margins to stay competitive with the market if they make them of cardboard and still penny-pinch enough to make the most of their few ~~victims~~ customers. Even if not, why are we even assuming the market knows what it's doing? For all we do know, it could be that the entire upper/middle management of these firms consists entirely of fractal Potemkin villages, with everyone just seeking to impress the next layer up by cargo-culting Apple. And even if we assume the manufacturer is a rational agent, the strategy will always be the irrational consumer. It is cheaper to scam enough people by selling garbage en-mass than to appease a relatively small crowd of professionals. The real client of a public corporation are its shareholders, you and the product are just an intermediate link to profit. You cannot steer a ship from the galley. We can and should support these independent companies, but we must also actively attack their large rivals, for they will do everything in their power to maintain market dominance if it's even close to being threatened. Break up Lenovo and we'll see how well they can do on an even playing field with others.

Framework could develop dev kit for 3rd party support and DIY'ers, but kit and software support could become costly for company already low on profit margins compared to large players. As heard in the video, Framework looked at current display panel manufacturer offers and only few satisfied their requirements, one being backwards compatibility.

[@KJ4EZJ]

@@victoralmanzar1273 They solved that problem ages ago. All my displays are OLEDs and I am a software engineer. Dell put a five year warranty on my monitor, including for burn-in...that's how confident they are. You run low panel voltages, keep the panel cool while in-use, pixel-shift for static content, and perform a panel refresh (which exercises all the pixels for an hour or so) every few months. This is all done in the display's firmware. Quantum dots and tandem stacked displays allow you to lower the panel voltage even further without any loss in brightness or quality. Only blue pixels can burn-in these days, and they have already solved that in a lab so, soon, we can leave panel maintenance behind too.

[@KJ4EZJ]

@@opfipip3711 They already do, they have for some time. Dell put a five year warranty on burn-in and dead pixels on my QD-OLED monitor. That is not normal for ANY display, they wanted to make a statement. You keep the panel voltage low, design the panel with adequate heat dissipation (like the milled aluminum backing Framework uses), shift the pixels occasionally when static content is being displayed, dim logos on TVs, and exercise the pixels when the display is "off" once every few months (usually called panel maintenance in the menus). This is all done in firmware by panel vendors. Apple and Samsung are now stacking OLEDs to run them at even lower voltages and temperatures with higher brightness, called "tandem" OLEDs. Burn-in hasn't been an issue for a number of years now, at least in high-end displays from reputable manufacturers. Consider giving the display space a deeper look, there are some really cool existing and upcoming technologies you might not know about. Only blue pixels burn-in and they recently invented a blue OLED pixel that does not burn-in in a lab. They have also figured out how to stimulate quantum dots with electricity directly, bypassing the need for a blue OLED layer entirely. Expect both of those technologies in the next two years or so. Micro-LED is also dropping in price, and there are a few other next-gen technologies to be aware of.

A display bezel with rounded corners could be nice to make it look more "polished"? But wouldn't be backward compatible with non-rounded displays.

[@nope9310]

Maybe they could make it so that the rounded corers can slide out if you want them.

[@owen5106]

Resolving the fractional scaling of display is HUGE! Thank you!

[@TheQxY]

I'm sold. You just removed exactly the pain points, which prevented me from buying a Framework laptop. Love to see it!

[@RichardJActon]

It would be nice to have the minimum as well as the maximum brightness of the displays listed. This makes a big difference to usability in low light conditions in my experience.

[@Chronically_ChiII]

Here is one feedback you could maybe consider. I just want speakers that face up instead of down, so I can hear movies while in bed without a Bluetooth speaker. Apple does it and it has one of the best sounds for laptops. The space in your computer is there, it just needs be able to rotate 180º and have a plate with holes.

[@chimpo131]

maybe framework will have an arm version where they can free up some of the internal space and do that😂

[@Chronically_ChiII]

@@chimpo131 Literally not necessary, It's already there, I can see it.. Maybe I'm missing something because it seems like the easiest thing to implement.

[@renatoneves6216]

@@Chronically_ChiII Sounds like something the community could come up to with 3d printing but yeah, the material and integrity would be way nicer if framework offered it out of the box.

wondering if you guys are planning to use the new LPCAMM2 ram socket for a future mainboard

[@mpty2022]

products announcements should be like this

[@tynnhammar]

yeah, and I love the background. It seems like they just walked into a workshop space and found their CEO playing around with the computer and then had him talk about it. So much better than the previous announcement!

[@travaro4]

Awesome, I was hoping for a touch screen tho. Keep up the great work.

[@LorenzoFilomena]

Since the bezel around the display is easly interchangeable, why not making a rounded corners version of it? Do you think it would make it less distracting?

[@andrewroes7942]

YES I've been wanting a higher refresh rate since the start! I'd already accepted it wouldn't happen since no panel makers had any at 3:2, so this is such an awesome surprise!!

[@KJ4EZJ]

Okay, but...wen OLED?

[@daimarstein]

Still hoping for the day you guys manage to expand operations to a point where these are available on Brazil, these are absolutely *AMAZING*

[@HasanAlKharfan]

A touch screen would be what makes me buy this. I use a stylus to write my notes. The upgradability is already amazing.

[@CyberDopamine]

I love the honesty behind this. Explaining the behind the scenes business moves is so cool and trusting to hear

[@Mojo_DK]

The rounded corners of the panel look awesome! I love it.

[@HypedLama]

Great upgrades. Found some errors on the website: Cannot buy new intel FW with Power Adapter ? Comparison page of AMD accessible through the configuration screen lists OG Ryzen 7 config with a 55Wh battery but the Button to select says 61Wh

[@frankhuurman3955]

finally!! though I can only select it with the newer screen models, if you want to order the old screen model you're still stuck with non-linux keyb.

[@mikebroom1866]

That screen is pretty awesome... Still waiting for a 2 in 1. Can't wait to replace my current laptops.

[@nope9310]

2 in 1 what?

[@razarzakawaii]

@@nope9310 He might mean like a transformable laptop that can fold the display and act as a tablet

[@HPerrin]

Huge kudos. For 15 years, I've been waiting for a manufacturer to offer a _good looking_ and powerful Linux laptop. There's always been some deal breaking compromise. You guys really stepped up. I bought my Ryzen Framework 13 a couple months ago, and I'm absolutely loving it. I like coding on it better than my work laptop, and waaay better than my Macbook. The keyboard is just so pleasant to use. Huge kudos to the whole team. You've made this Linux user super happy, and I love that you're really focusing on us Linux users. :D

[@scheimong]

Companies succeed under Engineer leadership. I love this sort of no BS presentation where the presenter actually knows what they're talking about.

[@Beryesa.]

Your agreements or whatever paperwork probably won't allow this but will we see an arm Framework? 👀 The new Snapdragon X's linux support looks to be really great

[@AnthonyBullard]

This is when I buy. M1 has radicalized me against x86-64 arch

[@No-mq5lw]

Probably would require soldered RAM or LPCAMM2 to pull off.

[@AnthonyBullard]

I think LPCAMM2 is desirable at this point, no?

[@No-mq5lw]

@@AnthonyBullard Yes, but getting support from Quallcomm to implement LPCAMM2 against the reference design is a different story

[@ChrisSmith-rm6xl]

Do a search and find the biggest micro SD they make. Now do the same with a full sized SD.

[@jackcrouse6530]

Other companies would sell the rounded display as a feature and when I saw it in pictures yesterday, I was bummed out. Hearing him talk about the reasoning why it's like that, I appreciate it and understand it. It makes perfect sense from a cost perspective and I am no longer bummed by it. Thanks for addressing it. Will most likely get my first Framework in the coming months.

[@herrerarausaure]

Love this not only because you're fixing a couple of pain points I've experienced (thermals, fractional resolution scaling, etc) but also because I can actually benefit from these upgrades by just swapping out some components on my 12th gen framework. Keep it up!

[@mohammadelnayef]

Would really like to see a full size 7 row keyboard on a framework laptop, something similar to the old thinkpad keyboards. Since no one does this anymore, it could be a differentiator. Writers and developers would really appreciate that.

[@wereoctopus]

I do hope the Framework 16's more modular design means Framework and/or third-parties will support alternative keyboard layouts. It'd be trickier to do that on the Framework 13-a 7th row would probably mean a smaller trackpad, and the lattice between the keys is part of the case.

[@mohammadelnayef]

@@wereoctopus It needs some proper engineering for sure, but lenovo did it on a modern laptop on the thinkpad 25 anniversary edition.

[@yuvrajsingh099]

Hoping for Snapdragon x elite. It is very upgradable with ssd, Wifi-7 and Bluetooth card, 5g module is also upgradable. Ram is up for devate , the ram is soldered on motherboard but in theory replaced by new LPCAMM2 module.

[@siniorchang]

I’m failing to find info in your website about what GPU does the 16” laptop includes. It almost feels like it doesn’t have dGPU and only iGPU, but for the price I’m pretty sure they include dGPU.

[@stephen3260]

AMD Radeon RX 7700S

[@chrispotterfan]

I like that Framework actually listen to their customers and try to improve from generation to generation. Promising company!

[@compuowl]

Just pre-ordered a Core Ultra 155H mainboard upgrade for my Framework 13 + the new 2.8k display! Very excited to support this company!

[@technomatic6285]

With ARM CPUs coming up, I wonder if Framework will be among the first to adopt the new architecture 🧐

[@utubekullanicisi]

I think they said they'd be open to ARM and even RISC-V architectures in the future

[@mathman0569]

I hope they do, I understand it'd be hard, but ARM and RISC-V would both be interesting to see.

[@InnocentiusLacrimosa]

​@@mathman0569interesting, but perhaps not good. Software compatibility is a big deal, both on Windows and Linux. I doubt ARM is truly ready, but lets see.

[@mathman0569]

@@InnocentiusLacrimosa Yeah, I think it'd take a bit, but if we could get some new stuff, and start to get some support for hardware, that'd be nice

[@naturegreene9579]

I think maybe 1-2 years from now it might be perfect with Linux, the first kernel, which will support snapdragon x elite should be released around September. With tweaking and fixing, give it 1-2 years and hopefully nobody won't need Macs anymore.

[@rockboy9315]

I would love if you one day make an option to have a digitized display so we can use active pens on it. I love the idea of this company and was really considering buying one for college but I wanted to be able to write by hand on it as that's how I remember better. So this journey will have to wait a bit more. You are doing an incredible job with development so far. And I'm hoping to see this feature one day too.
