Framework Laptop 13 Pro review: The king of repairability is back
Notebookcheck • • technology
Key Points:
- The Framework Laptop 13.5 continues to experience high CPU core temperatures, reaching over 90°C under load, which is significantly warmer than the Dell XPS 13 with the same processor, likely due to a smaller cooling system.
- This thermal limitation impacts Turbo Boost performance, resulting in slower raw performance compared to competing Panther Lake laptops, although the Laptop 13 Pro is not considered sluggish overall.
- The absence of OLED, HDR, and P3 color support may be a drawback for professional artists, but it is somewhat mitigated by Framework laptops not being primarily designed for multimedia use.
- Future improvements desired include optional Gorilla Glass for lid reinforcement, vPro support, and clickpads with dedicated mouse buttons to enhance the device's versatility.
- Notebookcheck emphasizes its independent and standardized testing methodology, ensuring unbiased and comparable laptop reviews based on extensive measurements and benchmarks.
