Framework Laptop 13 Pro (Intel Core Ultra Series 3, 2026)

Announced April 21, 202612, the Framework Laptop 13 Pro is a ground-up redesign of the Framework Laptop 13. It features Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processors on the 18A process node13, a 74 Wh battery, upgradeable LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X memory, a fully CNC-machined 6063 aluminum chassis, a purpose-built 2.8K touchscreen display with variable refresh rate, and a haptic touchpad14. It is Framework's first Ubuntu Certified system15. DIY Edition starts at $1,199; pre-built configurations start at $1,49916. First shipments are expected in June 20261.

The 13 Pro is also available with an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series mainboard option, using the same DDR5-based mainboard as the 2025 Framework Laptop 1317.

The new Mainboard and Display Kit are backwards-compatible with all previous Framework Laptop 13 generations18. Older mainboards can be installed into the 13 Pro chassis (requiring a BIOS update for full 74 Wh battery support)8. The new Bottom Cover, Input Cover, and 74 Wh battery are not compatible with the original Laptop 13 chassis due to the redesigned geometry8.
