We went live this morning at the Framework (2nd Gen) Event with our biggest set of announcements yet: Framework Desktop, Framework Laptop 12, and the new Ryzen AI 300 Series Framework Laptop 13. You can watch a recording of the livestream on our YouTube channel.
We started out by introducing the latest version of Framework Laptop 13 with AMD’s new Ryzen AI 300 Series processors. Pre-orders on this are open now, starting at $899, with the first batch shipping in April. We now have a 12-core Ryzen 9 option with awesome graphics performance, Wi-Fi 7, and a new keyboard structure that reduces resonance when your speakers are cranked up. We’ve also brought back the Translucent Bezel in four colors along with six new translucent USB-C Expansion Cards! This is our 7th iteration on Framework Laptop 13, and we’re committed to continuing to deliver on the promise of product longevity with it for many years to come.
We then shared the One Key Module, enabling developers to create custom keyboard layouts for Framework Laptop 16. We’ll have this on the Framework Marketplace later this year. We’re just getting started with the first generation of Framework Laptop 16, and we’ll be backing it up with the same philosophy around upgrades that we’ve shown on Framework Laptop 13.
We then introduced our next new product category, the Framework Desktop. Pre-orders are open now on this as well, starting at $1099, with shipments starting in early Q3. This is a tiny, 4.5L machine with massive performance inside using AMD’s new Ryzen AI Max processors. These bring up to 16 CPU cores, up to 128GB of memory shared across CPU, GPU, and NPU, discrete-level graphics performance. This makes it an awesome gaming, workstation, and AI crunching machine, all in an unassuming little form factor that you can carry with you. We also followed PC standards everywhere we could: the Mainboard is a MiniITX form factor, so you can drop it into your preferred case. This is just an amazing machine, and we can’t wait for you to try it.
Finally, we gave a sneak peek at Framework Laptop 12, bringing our mission and product philosophy to a much broader audience. This is a 12.2” 2-in-1 convertible with touch and stylus support, powered by 13th Gen Intel Core processors. We also designed it in a set of five colorways. We’ll be sharing a lot more on Framework Laptop 12 before we open pre-orders in April and start shipping mid-year.
