Framework has successfully launched upgrades for its Laptop 13, featuring new Mainboards with AMD Ryzen AI 300 series chips. This allows users who bought the laptop at its launch to significantly enhance their devices. Although some competition offers better battery life, Framework's focus on repairability and customization distinguishes it in the market. The DIY Edition offers a cost-effective entry point if customers provide their own RAM and storage, appealing to technology enthusiasts eager for a customizable laptop experience that aligns with sustainability principles.
The idea of a laptop you could upgrade yourself was spectacular in theory, but whether Framework could deliver on that promise wouldn't be known for many years.
While the Mainboard upgrade lacks the battery life improvements of some other laptops in 2025, the Framework Laptop 13 remains a wholly unique PC thanks to its incredible repairability.
If you own a Framework Laptop 13, you can spend even less by purchasing only the Mainboard, with prices between $449 and $999.
The DIY Edition starts at $899 for the base Ryzen AI 5 340, without RAM or storage, though that does include a display, keyboard, and trackpad.
