"The 2025 version of the Framework Laptop 16 comes with not only new AMD Ryzen AI CPU options, but also Wi-Fi 7, a more powerful USB-C charger, redesigned cooling, and a new webcam - all of which are also sold separately, so existing owners can upgrade. But the biggest bump by far is a more powerful user-replaceable graphics card. The modular, removable GPU is what separates the Laptop 16 from any other laptop on the market."
"The original Laptop 16 was hot, loud, and creaky, and frankly, it felt a bit unfinished - some of which improved over time. The base model prebuilt Framework Laptop 16 starts at $1,799 with no discrete graphics."
Framework's 2025 Laptop 16 adds new AMD Ryzen AI CPU options, Wi‑Fi 7, a more powerful USB‑C charger, redesigned cooling, and a new webcam, all available separately for upgrades. The standout is a modular, user-replaceable GPU now offered as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, delivering substantially better graphics than the prior AMD Radeon option. The laptop still shows rough edges: earlier thermal, noise, and fit issues improved but persist, leaving the machine less polished than rivals. Pricing ranges from a $1,799 base with no discrete GPU to higher configurations; the reviewed DIY unit totaled $2,524.
