这是我目前最喜欢的笔记本电脑,但由于“内存末日”(RAMageddon),价格已经上涨了 800 美元
The Framework Laptop 13 Pro has it all. But RAMageddon spiked its price. Framework Laptop 13 Pro 拥有一切优点,但“内存末日”推高了它的价格。
Framework laptops always come with compromises in exchange for their unique DIY premise. Even though you pay extra for one compared to sleeker options from competitors, it’s easier to excuse minor flaws for modular ports, easy repairs, and an impressive range of upgradeable parts. So what happens when Framework goes “Pro”? We get a one-of-a-kind jewel among notebooks. Framework 笔记本电脑总是以牺牲部分性能为代价,来换取其独特的 DIY 理念。尽管与竞争对手更轻薄的产品相比,你需要支付更高的价格,但考虑到模块化接口、易于维修以及一系列令人印象深刻的可升级部件,人们更容易原谅它的一些小瑕疵。那么,当 Framework 推出“Pro”版本时会发生什么呢?我们得到了一款笔记本电脑中独一无二的瑰宝。
The 13 Pro corrects and improves many shortcomings of the regular Laptop 13. It has a bright and sharp touchscreen, the best haptic trackpad not made by Apple, and an impeccable build and feel. Take all that and marry it to a great Intel chip and cutting-edge user-replaceable LPCAMM2 memory — both of which help to better balance performance and extra-long battery life — and you’ve got something really special. 13 Pro 纠正并改进了普通版 Laptop 13 的许多缺点。它拥有明亮清晰的触摸屏、除苹果产品外最好的触控板,以及无可挑剔的做工和手感。将这一切与出色的英特尔芯片以及尖端的可由用户更换的 LPCAMM2 内存相结合——这两者都有助于更好地平衡性能和超长续航——你就得到了一款真正特别的产品。
But what if this all happens in the throes of RAMageddon, with ever-increasing tech prices? Well, it’s now expensive as hell, of course. Our higher-end prebuilt review unit of the Laptop 13 Pro with a Windows license was meant to cost $2,299 when it arrived at my door, but after fresh memory price increases it’s now a nausea-inducing $3,099. 但如果这一切发生在“内存末日”的阵痛中,且科技产品价格不断上涨,会怎样呢?当然,它现在贵得离谱。我们评测的那台预装 Windows 系统的高端 Laptop 13 Pro,在送到我手中时原定价格为 2,299 美元,但在内存价格最新一轮上涨后,现在的价格已经达到了令人作呕的 3,099 美元。
An $800 price increase before reaching a single customer. We’ve seen lots of recent sticker shock, but this one especially hurts. 在产品还没送到任何一位客户手中之前,价格就上涨了 800 美元。我们最近见识过不少令人震惊的涨价,但这次尤其让人心痛。
Verge Score: Framework Laptop 13 Pro (Intel Core Ultra X7 358H)
Verge 评分:Framework Laptop 13 Pro (Intel Core Ultra X7 358H)
The Good: Modular, repairable, and upgradeable, as we’ve come to expect from Framework; Ultra X7 has very good performance (even for some 1080p gaming) and great battery life; Excellent build quality and a great keyboard and haptic trackpad; Nice IPS touchscreen with 3:2 aspect ratio. 优点: 模块化、可维修、可升级,正如我们对 Framework 的期待;Ultra X7 性能非常出色(甚至可以进行一些 1080p 游戏),续航能力极佳;做工质量上乘,键盘和触控板手感极佳;优秀的 3:2 比例 IPS 触摸屏。
The Bad: Very expensive because of RAM; Chassis gets very hot under full load; Slightly lackluster speakers. 缺点: 由于内存原因价格非常昂贵;满载时机身发热严重;扬声器表现略显平庸。
The Laptop 13 Pro is an all-black machine with an exquisite matte finish. It actually looks black instead of some variation of dark gray, and it feels rigid and well crafted — far from the hodgepodge erector set of its bigger cousin, the Laptop 16, or the good but slightly lower-quality build of the standard Laptop 13. Laptop 13 Pro 是一台通体黑色的机器,拥有精致的哑光饰面。它看起来确实是纯黑色,而不是深灰色的变体,手感坚固且做工精良——远非其“大表哥”Laptop 16 那种拼凑感,也比标准版 Laptop 13 那种虽好但质量稍逊的做工更胜一筹。
Inside the 13 Pro are new Intel Panther Lake chips with LPCAMM2 RAM, or it can be optioned with last-gen AMD processors and slower SODIMM DDR5 memory. Our prebuilt review unit has a 16-core Intel Core Ultra X7 358H CPU with a 12-core Arc B390 integrated GPU, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and four modular USB-C ports. Unlike other Frameworks, each port supports Thunderbolt 4, DisplayPort 2.1, and up to 140W charging so you can freely mount your modular expansion cards without any restrictions. 13 Pro 内部搭载了全新的英特尔 Panther Lake 芯片和 LPCAMM2 内存,也可以选配上一代 AMD 处理器和速度较慢的 SODIMM DDR5 内存。我们评测的预装机型配备了 16 核英特尔 Core Ultra X7 358H CPU、12 核 Arc B390 集成显卡、32GB 内存、1TB SSD 以及四个模块化 USB-C 接口。与其他 Framework 产品不同,每个接口都支持 Thunderbolt 4、DisplayPort 2.1 和最高 140W 充电,因此你可以不受任何限制地自由安装模块化扩展卡。
Everything here is really well put together. There’s no flex or give to the chassis or keyboard deck, even though everything’s easily disassembled with a handful of simple screws. The keyboard itself is great to type on. It maintains the nice 1.5mm key travel and tactility of the regular Laptop 13, but feels ever-so-slightly better thanks to a new one-piece aluminum frame. 这里的每一个部件都组装得非常到位。尽管只需几颗简单的螺丝就能轻松拆卸,但机身和键盘区域没有任何松动或形变。键盘本身的打字体验非常棒。它保持了普通版 Laptop 13 舒适的 1.5mm 键程和触感,但得益于全新的铝合金一体框架,手感略有提升。
The big upgrades to the 13 Pro’s components are the new haptic trackpad and touchscreen LCD. This is the best non-Apple haptic trackpad I’ve ever used. It’s very responsive to “clicks” from corner to corner, and it feels and sounds just right. The new screen is still a 13.5-inch matte-finish 120Hz IPS panel with 2880 x 1920 resolution for that excellent 3:2 aspect ratio, but it’s brighter (700 nits) and touch-enabled. 13 Pro 组件上的重大升级是全新的触觉反馈触控板和触摸屏 LCD。这是我用过最好的非苹果触觉触控板。它在各个角落的“点击”响应都非常灵敏,手感和声音恰到好处。新屏幕依然是 13.5 英寸哑光 120Hz IPS 面板,分辨率为 2880 x 1920,保持了出色的 3:2 比例,但亮度更高(700 尼特)且支持触摸。
The 13 Pro’s audio comes from a pair of side-firing stereo speakers. The speakers were one of the weaker points of the standard Laptop 13, and they’re the 13 Pro’s biggest fault. The side-mounted orientation creates a tiny bit of a soundstage, but overall the speakers sound a little thin and treble-y with minimal bass. 13 Pro 的音频来自一对侧向发声的立体声扬声器。扬声器曾是标准版 Laptop 13 的弱点之一,也是 13 Pro 最大的缺陷。侧置的布局营造出了一点点声场,但总体而言,扬声器声音听起来有些单薄,高音过多,低音极少。
The Intel chip and LPCAMM2 memory inside do a great job delivering on both performance and exceptional power efficiency. This newer style of compression-mounted memory is better for both of those factors, just like LPDDR5X, but without having to be soldered to the main board. The tradeoff for using LPCAMM2 is that it’s newer tech that’s generally pricier than DDR5. 内部的英特尔芯片和 LPCAMM2 内存很好地兼顾了性能和卓越的能效。这种较新的压缩式安装内存与 LPDDR5X 一样,在上述两个方面表现更好,且无需焊接在主板上。使用 LPCAMM2 的代价是,作为一项较新的技术,它通常比 DDR5 更昂贵。
