The new Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1 CPUs (opens in new tab)

There is VRR support, but 2880x1920 is still pushing a lot of pixels!

It's great that it's VRR. Also I don't think the rounded corners will matter much in practice, might even look cool if the bezels are designed for it!

Either I'm going crazy or there's bug in the configuration wizard - I'm selecting 64GB of memory with Ultra 7 165H CPU DIY, but when I add it to the bag it says just 16GB.

I just got a Framework 16 laptop and can't get it set up because it gives an error that the input module connector board is not detected. I already opened a ticket with support but haven't yet heard back.

The face plate for the touchpad isn't flush with the faceplate with the side panels, which is sort of annoying. It could be resolved by having the touchpad panel the full width of the laptop instead of having spacers. Will there be an option to do that in the future?

Could you share video samples from the new webcam?

Is the grey-to-grey response time information available? If not would it be possible to share the panel's serial code?

I don't have any questions but I do think it looks great and that Framework is doing interesting and important work.

It's amazing that you've been able to ride on the coattails of another manufacturer's tooling investment in the panels.

Can you share the data sheet for this new panel? The previous matte panel has a very bright minimum brightness of 21 nits. What is the minimum brightness of this new panel?

Hello, what kind of RAM is supported for the Intel configuration?

I have a 32GB DDR4 SO DIMM 2400MHz sitting around, can I repurpose it for a new Framework config (and spare the corresponding 180€)?

For those happy to do the tinkering, will you make the `super` key individually available, rather than needing to buy the full keyboard?

Does it support HDR/Dolby Vision?

The Surface Pro 8/9 that this seems to be based on says it supports Dolby Vision.

Will you offer some kind of (optional) case+adapter to make an older webcam usable as a usb-camera?

No questions, just thank you.

Any word on expected battery life this time around?

>This is our fourth Framework Laptop 13 iteration with Intel processors, and we continue to optimize performance further each time. With Intel Core Ultra Series 1, Intel delivered major improvements in efficiency and battery life, especially on use cases like video playback.

I doubt it. Framework’s core audience doesnt have all that much overlap with the Surface’s audience.

Looking forward to them releasing an arm-powered mainboard eventually. I have to assume it won't be price competitive though.

It should be a pretty noticeable improvement if you're coming from 11th Gen. When we send out press units, you'll see reviewers doing comparison reviews across generations.
