Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series)
Framework's modular 16-inch laptop gets AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series mainboards (Ryzen AI 7 350 or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at launch) and an optional swappable NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Graphics Module. Specs describe the Ryzen AI 7 350, RTX 5070, 16GB, 1TB build; pre-orders opened at $1,499 for the DIY Edition without the GPU module, which adds $650.
Pros
- Swappable RTX 5070 Graphics Module (8GB GDDR7, 100W) that also fits existing Laptop 16 units; Framework claims 30-40% higher gaming frame rates than the Radeon RX 7700S module
- Geekbench 6 scores of 2,878 single-core and 12,399 multi-core in review testing, with a single-core lead over the previous-generation Ryzen 7 7840HS Laptop 16
- Matte 2560x1600 165Hz panel with G-Sync support when the RTX 5070 module is fitted
- Six Expansion Card slots (four with display output), user-replaceable 85Wh battery, two SO-DIMM slots up to 96GB and two M.2 SSD slots
- Optional 240W USB-C GaN adapter, plus Wi-Fi 7 and a second-generation 1080p webcam with hardware privacy switches
Cons
- DIY Edition ships without RAM, storage, an OS or a power adapter; the RTX 5070 module adds $650 and the 240W adapter $109 to the $1,499 starting price
- Screen peaked at 444 nits in review testing, below the 500-nit rating and 40 nits dimmer than the previous model
- Measured runtime of about 8h20m with the RTX 5070 module fitted, down from 8h49m for the previous Radeon RX 7700S model
- Keyboard module felt mushy and the seams around the spacers and touchpad looked cheap in review testing
