Let’s dig in… First off, the Framework 13" laptop has been updated for 2025 with new translucent bezels (including the crucial Atomic Purple) and AMD Ryzen AI 300 series APUs. Framework is also working on updating the Framework 16" laptop with new large key stabilizers to eliminate noise and a new one-key module (more on that when I can get onto the website). The keyboard is also being updated with a Copilot logo, or without any Microsoft keys if you opt for the DIY models, and they have also shown off that they are working on an orthollinear design for fans of that layout. Pricing for the new Framework 13" starts at $899 for the DIY model and $1,099 for the pre-built.

For the new products they first announced 4.5L desktop system. Still maintaining the Framework Right-to-Repair ethic but leveraging existing desktop PC standards, the new system features AMD’s new Ryzen AI Max processor and comes in 32, 64, and 128GB RAM options. The RAM is soldered for the fastest possible speed, but prices remain reasonable at $1,099, $1,599, and 1,999, respectively. The desktop is available for pre-order now and the first batch will start shipping in Q3 of 2025.

The 32GB model comes with a Ryzen AI Max 385 8-core CPU, 32 graphics cores, two M.2 2280 NVMe storage slots, Wifi 7, a choice of Cooler Master and Noctua 120MM fans, and two slots on the front for Frameworks expansion cards, which are the same as the cards that are used on their laptops. The 64GB and 128GB models come with the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 16-core CPU, 40 graphics cores, and everything else that comes with the 32GB model.

They also showed off a cluster case that can take up to four Desktop boards and work as a desktop cluster for advanced operations. And on the lighter side, the front plate of the standard desktop case can take up to seven customizable or 3D printed tiles in various colors and logos.

Finally, they announced the new Framework 12" Convertible Touchscreen laptop with pen support. Other than stating that it comes Intel’s 13th gen mobile processors, but no other specifications. From the presentation and the sizzle reel on the product page however, I can see that this smaller device will have four expansion card slots like the Framework 13. Unfortunately there are no additional details, specs, pricing, or precise timing, but they are confident it will ship before the end of this year.

I’ve posted a few images from the presentation and the 12" model sizzle reel as well as a link to the AMD version of the live stream already set to start when the presentation does. I will update this post as additional details are available.
