Quick summary for those couldn't watch the livestream/load the website. - New Framework laptops are available using Intel 13th Gen and AMD 7040 series. - New 61Wh battery, new matte display option & a Cooler Master mainboard case for $39. - New 16 inch Framework laptop. Allows you to have a number pad or not, up to you and customizable. If I understood the livestream correctly, there are upgradable dedicated GPUs tha…

Is one of the models of CPU available the 7840HS? This sounds fantastic, I very well may buy a Framework laptop later this week/weekend. EDIT: Their site came back up, after reading the blog post I pre-ordered the Ryzen 7 13" to be my new Linux laptop.

We don't actually know what specific version of AMD CPU is available. Just that one option is Ryzen 5 and the other is Ryzen 7:

"For the AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series processors, we’ll be sharing more detailed specifications as we get closer to shipment."

I think so? Of the 7040 APUs, that seems to be the only Ryzen 7 model announced so far.

Shipping estimate is Q3.

Does it mean I can finally get a high end laptop without a discrete gpu?

Matte display yay! I missed that a lot on the MBP. Seems like they still want to bundle a windows license, I never understand this, do MS pay OEMs to do this?

Not if you get the DIY afaik!

I'm in the market for a new laptop soon and am considering a Framework one. Would the 13th gen or the AMD version be good enough for basic photo editing? My wife is starting to get interested in photography. It would be nice if this could be a shared machine that I'd use most of the time and she would use for photo editing. If photo editing was something she wanted to do frequently she could always get her own machine specifically specked for that.

The big question is whether the cooling system in the 13" would be able to handle the HS. Is there any data on Zen 4 laptop chips that has tested the efficiency vs performance considerations on the U vs the HS series?

How does it compare to the Starfighter? https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starfighter

Starfighter doesnt have upgradeable / repairable RAM so it doesn’t compete in the same niche as Framework. Starfighter doesn’t look nearly as repairable.

Starfighter doesn’t have the proven “longevity” and true commitment to mission that Framework has had time to demonstrate, now through its second major release.

That all said, Starfighter looks like it has some really cool features between open source boot firmware, removeable camera and Wi-Fi kill switch.

It would be nice if we could get non-multiplexed edit keys in the unused space. That is the biggest failing of modern laptops. Massive horizontal real estate and they're packing keys in like it's 1995.

> Coming later in 2023: Belgium, Taiwan, Italy, Spain Does anybody know why they do this country by country roll out? I'd be perfectly happy to order a US layout laptop but they don't allow me to place an order.

I would guess figuring out payment, shipping, returns, refunds, warranty...
