The Framework Laptop 13 breaks this chain with its\u00a0<strong>modular design<\/strong>, letting you upgrade the CPU, RAM, storage, ports, and even the keyboard. Weighing just\u00a0<strong>1.3 kg<\/strong>\u00a0with a stunning 3:2 aspect ratio matte display, it\u2019s built for pros who refuse to compromise between performance and ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>\ud83d\udca1 Key Innovations You Can\u2019t Ignore:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>\ud83d\ude80 Performance Unleashed<\/strong>: Choose between AMD Ryzen AI processors (AI9HX370, AI7350, or AI5340) or 13th Gen Intel Core i5\/i7.
