Raizen AI7 350 Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus or Intel Core Ultra is equal to, or give. It is slightly behind the single -core performance, as the San Bench R24 is measured, and is one and a half steps ahead in the multi -core. This processor is not known for being a powerhouse. Rather, the focus is on full performance. This is the place where the AMD chip is firmly in the last place. Battery life on the framework laptop 13 has been improved by previous models, but it will not happen until you get the Snapdragon X or Core Ultra Series 2 PC.
The light battery test I played on the laptop 13, lasted for about 11 11 hours, in which a local video was looping the Max display brightness. It is some of the competition behind eight to 10 hours, showing how much Intel, Qualcomm, and apple The bar has been raised in the past year. My normal workload loads sank four and a half hours of real -time battery. This is the same as the original framework laptop 13 I tested in 2021. If battery life is your main concern, it will be worth seeing whether the framework Intel Core Ultra Series 2 introduces the main board.
Peripheral distress
There are some aspects of the laptop with which you will always be trapped with Chassis. Laptop design that benefits from more efficient chips in the future should result in a thin laptop without losing performance. We are already influencing it with Thin gaming laptop More than before

But it is also noteworthy that some other ingredients are somewhat outdated because they are right now. Webcam is a good example. In 2021, when this laptop was first designed, 1080p had a good resolution to expect 2-MP webcams. Many PCs are going towards 1440p or more like recent M4 MacBook Air. Apple is upgrading webcam in 2020 to 720p to 2022, and now in 2025 in 12-MP. MacBook Hua today costs just like MacBook Air.
In the starting sequence, the low resolution screen is also older than the competition. My unit has a high resolution 2,880 x 1,920 IPS panel with which 120 HerTage Refresh RateWhich is more sharp, sharp and more than color. The blur is great to remove the gastrointestinal tract. But it is in a setting that costs more than $ 1,500. Many of this price, many laptops, even offer even faster O LED panels, which are significantly more contrary, and may also be touch screen.
The good news is that there is a strong opportunity for the framework to offer new components to reflect the current standard. The company sells Webcam modulesFor, for, for,. Speaker upgradeAnd Display the kits Older machines and there is no reason to expect that there will be no new versions soon. But these upgrades will cost extra, and once again, you are putting your confidence in the framework to provide.
Fortunately, the framework laptop 13 is still an excellent starting place, and it will be even many more years before feeling really old. Today, this is more than a practical response to the problem Electronic waste. This is really a type of laptop.
