Framework

The first reviews of the new Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) are now live, and the first Batch 1 customer systems start shipping tomorrow! This is our 7th version of Framework Laptop 13, and the refinement that comes from iteration really comes through in the reviews. With the Ryzen 9 option, this is by far the highest-performance Framework Laptop 13 too, across both multi-threaded CPU compute and graphics. Reviewers also really enjoyed the new translucent Bezel color options.

Check out some of our favorite highlights from reviewers:

"All in the Framework 13 upgrade with the Ryzen AI 300 series is a great option for developers, content creators, and Linux enthusiasts at large. With the flagship AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 option is excellent compute capabilities with competitive power efficiency and great thermals."

– Phoronix

"The updated Framework Laptop 13 is the best yet, with a quick AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor, long battery life, and the company's signature modular component design for excellent future upgradability and sustainability."

– PC Mag

"The Framework 13 laptop with the new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is here, and it's not just more powerful, it's more customizable than ever."

Our Framework Laptop 13 production line is running at full tilt, and we’ll be able to ship the full set of pre-orders quickly. Pre-orders are still open, with systems shipping within Q2.

In our last newsletter, we shared details around how the new tariff environment impacts our products for US customers. The latest summary is that all of our in-stock and pre-order systems are orderable again in the US at their original prices. There are some configuration items and parts where we still face significant tariff impact, and those remain at elevated prices. We continue to update our tariff blog post as the trade environment changes.

Framework Laptop 12 orders are now open in all countries we ship to, and the response has been incredible. In the first day of pre-orders, we sold more than what we had originally forecast for the first two months. We’re currently on Batch 7 of pre-orders, but we have a lot of production capacity ready to fulfill orders quickly. If you can’t wait, you can also move your order into Batch 0 by donating $250 USD or more to Hack Club, a non-profit that enables student makers and coders. In case you’re curious, of the five colorways of Framework Laptop 12, Sage is currently the most popular. We’ll be launching color-matched Stylus options for Framework Laptop 12 in Q3 too.

We have one more update to share: we’ve launched Framework Laptop 16 Mystery Boxes in the Framework Outlet in the US and Canada. These are made up of assorted returned parts that didn’t pass our criteria for use in Refurbished systems. That means they could have functional issues, cosmetic issues, or just straight-up be broken. That’s what makes it a mystery! If you want to pick up some material to tinker with, these are available now.
