Framework reveals more details about its upcoming AMD powered Laptop 13

In March, Framework announced several new products and upgrades were coming to its modular laptop lineup. The announcements included new Intel models, a bigger, more powerful gaming laptop, and then, finally, an AMD version of its Laptop 13. 

But what Framework didn’t announce was any real specifics outside of the fact that the AMD-powered Laptop 13 would use an AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 series CPU.

On Wednesday, Framework revealed more details, important ones at that. The AMD version of the Laptop 13 will be available with either a Ryzen 5 7640U or Ryzen 7 7840U configuration. 

Both configurations are currently available to pre-order, with deliveries starting in the third quarter of this year. 

The DIY Edition (which you build at home, yourself) with the 7640U Series starts at $711 before memory, storage and an operating system. The 7840U build starts at $1,031, again, before all the extra components.

Why would you have the option to buy a laptop without memory, storage or an OS? That’s what makes Framework so appealing to many — you can add any compatible components you already own to the laptop. Or you can pick from the list of options currently on the Framework site; it’s up to you. 

Or if you’d rather go the more traditional route of a pre-built system, the AMD Laptop 13 starts at $1,049 for a working laptop out of the box.
