Framework sells out AMD Laptop 13

Framework said Friday that its first AMD-powered Laptop 13, built around AMD’s Ryzen 7040 series, is now fully sold out. The company linked the end of sales to the processor’s end-of-life rather than to a broader pullback from AMD configurations, and pointed buyers to the newer Ryzen AI 300 Series version as the direct replacement. Framework also said Ryzen 7040 mainboards will remain available separately for people who want to repurpose the platform rather than buy a full new machine. ### So what actually sold out here? The sold-out product is the complete Framework Laptop 13 configuration built on AMD’s Ryzen 7040 series, which was the company’s first AMD-based version of the 13-inch system. Framework introduced that model in 2023 and marketed it as both a new laptop and an upgrade path for existing owners of earlier Intel-based Framework Laptop 13 systems. (frame.work) Framework’s current Laptop 13 storefront now centers on the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series version, which the company describes as the latest AMD option for the chassis. The company’s February 25, 2025 product announcement said first shipments of the Ryzen AI 300 model were scheduled for April and positioned it as the next step in the same upgradeable line. ### Why did Framework stop selling the Ryzen 7040 version? (frame.work) AMD’s Ryzen 7040 processor family has reached end-of-life, according to Framework’s update, which means the company said it will not produce more complete Laptop 13 units using that chip generation. That makes this a supply-cycle ending rather than a redesign that breaks with the existing platform. (frame.work) Framework has handled the transition by keeping the Laptop 13 platform intact while swapping in a newer AMD board. In its Ryzen AI 300 launch materials, the company said the updated version adds newer processors, Wi‑Fi 7, a revised thermal system and a next-generation keyboard while preserving the broader repairable and upgradeable design. (frame.work) ### If the laptop is sold out, what can existing owners still buy? Ryzen 7040 mainboards are still listed in Framework’s marketplace, with the company saying they can be used either to upgrade an existing Framework Laptop 13 or to build a standalone small PC. The product page says the boards are compatible with Framework Laptop 13 upgrades and can be used outside the laptop chassis as a separate computer. (frame.work) Framework said when it first launched the Ryzen 7040 generation that owners of 11th Gen and 12th Gen Intel Core Framework Laptop systems could swap in the AMD board instead of replacing the whole machine. That same upgrade logic is central to the newer Ryzen AI 300 board, which Framework also sells separately. ### Why does the mainboard detail matter so much for Framework? (frame.work) Framework’s product strategy has long depended on separating the computer’s chassis from its compute board, memory, storage and ports. That means a model reaching end-of-life does not necessarily remove the upgrade path for existing customers, because the company can keep selling boards and parts after complete systems disappear from the catalog. (frame.work) The company’s current marketplace still lists both the Ryzen 7040 mainboard and the newer Ryzen AI 300 mainboard. On the Ryzen 7040 listing, Framework says buyers can use the board to upgrade a Laptop 13 or build a standalone PC, while the Ryzen AI 300 page presents the newer board as the higher-end successor with up to 12 CPU cores and Radeon 890M graphics. (guides.frame.work) ### What should buyers watch next? Framework’s next AMD path for Laptop 13 buyers is the Ryzen AI 300 Series configuration now featured on its order page. The company says that model is available as a full laptop and as a standalone mainboard, while the older Ryzen 7040 board remains available through the marketplace for upgrades and mini-PC projects.
