From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro including full Linux support right from the beginning.

Some quick information about the Device:

will use Intel Core Ultra 300 (Panther-Lake)
updated Battery Design with (up to) 20h Battery life
custom designed Display Panel with Touch support (keeping the 3:2 aspect ratio)
LPCAMM2 for upgradable/replacable RAM without compromising on Speed/Low Power of LPDDR5X
milled Aluminium Unibody chassis
Full Linux support right from the start (including Firmware update via LVFS, Fingerprint Reader, etc.)
Haptic Touchpad
and all the repairability features Framework is known for

You can watch their YouTube Video for a quick summary:

I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:

HP Elitebook X g1a
the new Dell XPS 14
Asus Expertbook PM5 G2

or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me. But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!

They cost an arm and a leg. We definitely need our own version of Framework home grown.

Pro 13 pre built with Intel

Germany: 2369 eur USA: 1499 usd

You can literally go to New York, eat a rye and pastrami, get your framework 13 pro, fly back and still be somewhat ahead

Add taxes and spedition costs to the USA one

[–] Specter@piefed.social 4 points 15 hours ago

It’s insane how much tech fleeces Europeans, but it’s also always been like this. We don’t get the insane discounts USians get either. Never seen a Thinkpad 50% off around these parts like they do over there.

US price is without taxes and the German price is with VAT already included. It’s still more but not as drastic.

[–] piyuv@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

True, without 20% VAT German price would be ~1974 eur (=~2319 usd)
