It’s time for a new laptop. My faithful Dell XPS 13 is over five years old, and it’s starting to struggle with plain ol’ Windows 10 — forget about Windows 11.

It’s an exciting time to upgrade, too, because the laptop market has come a long way over the last five years and there’s some incredibly light and powerful machines out there: the Asus Zenbook 13 OLED, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360, and of course the Dell XPS 13 OLED. All have gorgeous OLED screens, comfy keyboards, and more than enough power for my needs. Plus, they can all be had without breaking my budget.

So why have I had the Framework Laptop order page open in a tab for a week now? Why is my finger regularly hovering over the buy button on a laptop I’d have to assemble myself? One that doesn’t even come with a slick OLED display?

Seriously, they are badass ...
Look it up ...

The Framework Laptop is the future of laptops — and that’s why I’m buying one
