Remember when we first cracked open the Framework 13 back in 2021? Framework promised a laptop designed for repairability and endless upgrades, a promise they’ve reaffirmed every year. The latest upgrade is the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series of mainboards that they unveiled a couple months ago in San Francisco.
This is the 7th version of the Framework Laptop 13. So even if you bought the original back in 2021, you can still upgrade your machine to this brand new board.
Grab a Pro Tech Go toolkit! Perfect for most projects!
