But the Framework Laptop has hours less battery life than our top ultrabook pick, and the ability to upgrade and repair it down the line depends on the company continuing to exist and to supply parts.
It’s sturdy and surprisingly thin and light for how modular its design is, and it has a reliable keyboard and trackpad plus a bright and spacious display. And the Framework Laptop is an excellent computer, too. You can add more memory and storage, but you can also replace the battery, upgrade the mainboard with a new processor, or repair anything else if it breaks-the display, the fingerprint reader, the keyboard, the hinge, you name it. Each part and screw is helpfully labeled, along with handy QR codes that direct you to step-by-step replacement guides that also contain links to the exact parts you’ll need. For example, both the Surface Laptop Studio and Surface Pro 8 (and now Pro 9) have a 120Hz display that looks much smoother, and there's no reason why the Surface Laptop 5 should have been left out - but it was, and I hope to see that rectified with the next iteration.Why we like this one: Every part of the Framework Laptop is super easy to repair and upgrade, and Framework makes all of its parts available to purchase on its website. However, there are other aspects that Microsoft should have upgraded and didn't. Microsoft stuck with that mentality with the Surface Laptop Studio last year, and the screen resolution is just fine as it is. The Surface Laptop family has always had lower-resolution screens compared to the Surface Pro, for example, but that's understandable because you're essentially expected to have the display further from you when using a laptop compared to a tablet. The most baffling thing about the Surface Laptop 5 is that Microsoft decided not to adopt things that it's been using in other premium Surface devices for a while now. Parity with other premium Surface devices With that being said, let's get right into our suggestions. We're probably still quite a ways off from the release of the Surface Laptop 6 and other devices like the Surface Pro 10, but even now, there are a few things we want to see, and it's frankly baffling that some of these changes didn't happen with the Surface Laptop 5.
