Reviews for the Framework Laptop 13.5 Core Ultra 7 155H
There's no denying how versatile the Framework Laptop 13.5 can be now that it's gone through several generations of Intel and AMD CPUs without any major design changes. The improved display and integrated graphics help keep the model competitive, but the cooling solution is perhaps showing its age.

The Framework Laptop 13 feels like a laptop from an alternate reality. It’s a laptop from a world where you assemble your own laptop like you’d build a desktop PC. It’s a machine you can easily screw open to replace components — or even upgrade the hardware to the next-generation. And you get to swap out the ports for the ones you like best. Want to get inside the laptop and do something? Framework will sell you components and provide detailed DIY guides. You’re not digging through forum threads and trying to find OEM components for sale on eBay. You’ve got an open-source firmware on your machine as well as great compatibility with Linux as well as Windows. If you aren’t sold on the vision, though, you can quibble.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
