Framework announced its new Laptop 13 Pro on April 21, 2026, featuring a "ground-up redesign" to address previous hardware characteristics like hinge durability, speaker quality, and battery life. This new model is the company's first to ship as certified for Ubuntu. OMG! Ubuntu reported today that this certification provides users with "guaranteed support right out of the box." The Framework 13 Pro is powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, continuing Framework's commitment to upgradeable and repairable hardware. This formalizes the device's compatibility and support for the Linux ecosystem, building on Framework's history of kernel contributions and financial support for open-source development.
