Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M3, 2023)
The Framework Laptop 13 (2023) and the Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M3, 2023) are very different. The Framework is a modular Windows ultraportable designed with repairability and upgradability in mind, while the MacBook is a macOS mobile workstation with permanently soldered parts. Although the Framework can handle some demanding tasks, the MacBook is still a better option if you have a highly intensive workload, as you can get better performance from Apple's M3 Pro/Max SoCs. Also, the MacBook supports up to 128GB of RAM, whereas the Framework can only support up to 64GB. As for the user experience, the MacBook comes out ahead, too, though the Framework's modular port system is more flexible, allowing you to adapt to different situations.
