Whats good about the gaming perf is that it should sit at or above the steam deck, so as long as the deck remains relevant, so does the 7840u.

The Steam Deck looks good because it has a 720p screen, unfortunately a game rendered at 720p on the Framework screen looks bad. But I'll dive deeper into that next week.

@@soragrandait depends, if with performance we talk about fps in settings you want to use, probably are about the same, as indeed is quite more capable but due to scaling and raw screen size you’d want to run the game above the HD 720p/800p of the Steam Deck, so at the end you’ll probably end up with similar fps, because 720p in the screen of the Framework laptop doesn’t look good

It's almost 2x the cost to my comparable Lenovo 16" 7840u. I'll keep saying it over and over - there's an initial R&D markup that early adopters will pay. I for one can't drop an extra $1200 just because, since it will probably take a couple of generations of these laptops to bring these into mainstream pricelines. Until then, I'm happy for those believers who fork out the cash on a Framework. I hope other manufacturers follow suit with this design

There's a cost difference that has to be factored in. Even loyal framework users are going to spend less on future framework purchases, meaning the company has to front load more of the cost. Also, there's no shot any other major manufacture will go down this road. (unless the EU forces that process)

I think the best path for more budget conscious people will be to buy 2nd hand parts than buying brand new parts. But it will be enthusiast who are more up for 2nd hand parts where most people just want brand new parts. Maybe if Framework increases their scale they can offer better value, but I doubt big companies will go away from buying bulk of laptops etc. from a big manufacture like Dell.

Linux distros to test! Debian Linux Mint Ubuntu Fedora Arch Linux (EndeavourOS is an accessible version with direct parity with Arch Linux packages) Consider the fractional scaling on X11 vs Wayland and the performance on both. Also the most important thing as someone interested in these laptops is battery life - so one thing to look into is battery saving methods on each distro. On Fedora for example, my home distro, you would use powerprofilesctl in the terminal to select a performance preset.

14:28 adding 11 percent to the Intel numbers brings them around 7 hours and 20 minutes. Subtracting 11 percent to the AMD brings it around 9 hours and 30 minutes. Very impressive battery life performance indeed. I think a big reason Apple keeps their battery life better when in sleep is because they use LPDDR. The biggest power efficiency gains LPDDR brings is in inactivity where regular DDR cannot use very minimal power when not in use. I dunno if the memory can be dumbed into the SSD when in sleep so the memory isn't using power at all. But there might still be OS differences that makes MacOS very good in not using power in sleep compared to Windows. I do think both have issues with sleep when plugged in because something remain active (I think it is wifi) which causes bigger battery drain than doing sleep while unplugged.

The performance statistics around fan noise and heat were particularly incite full along with the battery upgrade. I run Ubuntu 22.04 and am constantly frustrated with battery life, fan noise and heat. This is exacerbated when I fire up VMware instances of Windows and Kali.

Again, many thanks, I'm looking forward to your further reviews of the Ryzen board.

16:13 Huh, that's weird. According to NotebookCheck, the AMD Framework pulled less maximum power than the Intel ones during their stress tests, and it stayed below 60W, with a maximum of 55W. Similarly, Phoronix tested another 7840U laptop and it only drew 30W peak, compared to over 70W for the i7-1280P! Is is possible your charger/cable is defective? Did you test with another 60W charger/cable combination? You could also try monitoring the power input either via software or a USB tester.
@ElevatedSystems
@ElevatedSystems Жыл бұрын
Even Framework states that the 60W charger isn't sufficient for the AMD Mainboard when off battery, and recommends a 100W power source. This indicates the board draws over 60W and needs the battery to suppliment under heavy sustained load which is what my testing showed.

Thanks for the video, very interesting! I have the very first Framework Laptop (11th gen i5) from 2021 and its already a really good machine. Fast forward 2+ years and we get better screen rigidity, a matte panel, louder speakers (quality still subpar unfortunately) and *finally* amazing battery life. I won't upgrade any parts for environmental reasons (would love the matte screen tho) but from now on I can recommend the FW13 to anyone looking for an ultrabook without any bad conscience. I hope after the 16 they will start working on a 360 hinge or a 2in1 chassis that fits the same mainboard if thats not possible.

Overall not a bad review, but I have to question some things: 1. Saying that the chassis is showing its age. Touchpad technology, screen technology, and speaker technology have not drastically changed int he past few years. It is true that the Framework may not have the absolute best of these (particularly the speakers) - but they are above average in the screen and touchpad areas, and also in other areas like the keyboard. Sure, I hope they can continue to upgrade and perfect everything about their laptops, but the fact remains: Either the original was usable, or it wasn't. If it was, then it still is. I for one would be perfectly happy to keep using my original chassis, top case, hinges, and all. The Touchpad is enough better than my Thinkpad that I appreciate the difference. 2. The price discussion. Selling a used laptop is generally *very much* a losing proposition. As an example, if you buy a new laptop every two years, then you will (generally) be lucky to sell your laptop for half of what you bought it for. So, if you buy a $2000 laptop every two years, then you might be lucky and get $1000 for the old one. This means that if you could get a new motherboard for less than $1000, you are better off changing the motherboard - even without factoring in that you get to keep the older one. As the side of SSD and memory goes up, more and more of the cost of the PC goes into these, and so the argument for re-use goes up more and more if one or both of these can be re-used. Given that the motherboard can be repurposed into a new PC or sold onto someone else, that sweetens the deal further. I think since the poster is making multiple videos about re-purposing the motherboard, this is well known. To be honest, though, for "regular people", I would focus on the repair-ability aspect more than the upgrad-ability aspect when "selling it" to them. Apple and others had done research showing that most people never actually upgraded their PC, and hence it was "okay" to solder everything onto the board. I'm sure this is true in the sense that people who aren't interested in computers, but just use them, are less likely to open them up and change out things like even the RAM or SSD, much less the motherboard. Telling my aunt, for example "This laptop is really cool because you can swap out the motherboard" is likely to be met with a blank stare. On the other hand, explaining that "If you ever break this laptop, or part of it fails, I can fix it for you for pretty quickly & inexpensively and without losing your data in most cases. If you choose a Macbook or many other PC laptops, it will probably mean a very costly complete replacement where you will be without your laptop for days or maybe weeks". Especially if they have ever had a laptop break in the past, this should be something they understand. Not only that, but when they do sell a framework used in order to buy a new laptop, dealers of used goods and repair shops can easily mix and match parts to do the upgrading that people wouldn't do on their own, and so things still can get saved from the land fill - which is the most unique aspect to me. You can give your used laptop to someone, and they will probably keep it for a year or so before giving it to their kid for a year or so - but after that, it's likely to end up in a landfill - especially if it breaks. Because the framework is completely repairable and fixable, basically only truly obsolete and/or broken parts should ever end up in the landfill - and hence why we should all do our best to keep using the original chassis if we can.

Note: AFAIK the AI accelerator will NOT help when training most models. It helps when you've got a finished model and want to use it (so on device AI stuff). The issue is that the accelerator only accelerates integer calculations. Meanwhile, for training, you usually need float calculations. The ability to smoothly change variables is very important when you're training. Afterwards you can often adopt that algorithm you found to work on Integer units. But during training the inability to adjust the stepsize is highly problematic. There are limited use cases where the Integer units will help, usually that is the case if you've got a heterogenous model, where you just reuse an model (that has an Integer variant) without modifying it. But that is often fairly limiting.

Regarding the cost: for most "normal" users, they'll use whatever they have for as long as it's working and supported. Those costs that you experienced would normally be stretched out over the course of a 5-7 year time span representing minor replacements, repairs, and upgrades here and there; rather than annual upgrades like you experienced. Most people don't find a need to upgrade their computer unless it's no longer doing what they want. Additionally, as Framework laptops increase in number and the more often parts are replaced, those old parts will start to hit Ebay as cheap replacements that will allow someone to recoup the cost on, and provide *someone* a cheap upgrade. Just wanted to provide an alternate point of view. Also, Halo Infinite testing plz? 🥺

Thanks CJ, love all the reviews, but Framework ones take the lead. I am 100% with you on the upgrade thoughts. Perhaps it will become something like swapping in really old gear augmented with government sourced environment protection subsidies bringing down the prices massively. After all, that would be full and real recycling.

Are you on drugs? The guy is comparing the latest model with 11th and 12th gen Intel processors, when the more accurate comparison would be the 13th gen Intel processor. He made Intel look bad intentionally by comparing the current AMD offering to old Intel chips.

@@cyclopsvision6370 The 13th gen was just released a few months ago. Upgrading from a one and two year old board is already pretty unreasonable for most ppl. Anyone who bought the 13th gen already knew the Ryzen one was being released so they aren't looking to upgrade. Besides the 13th gen is only 5% to 10% faster than the 12th gen with no power efficiency improvements. They are basically the same mainboard.

A Battery comparison with tho old one would have been really cool. But maybe someone in the Forum will do one. I use the 11 Gen i5 Model. i think the I5 or Ryzen 5 Cpus are and have been the better choice Price to Performance wise. Like 600 for the Bord some RAM and the WIFI card would be the way to go for me. I love to see your Review

I've ordered the 7640U based one a few days ago. I wanted to give Framework a try. I appreciate the sustainability of the design, but I do worry about the heat and power That said, I was looking at a Dell XPS with Intel 125H as the alternative, and I assume they probably thermal throttle constantly with such a thin design. Issue with modern laptops. Naturally the M3 is one of the better choices, but MacBook Air is the same price range as the FW and at 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it's a bit of a cheeser

@@ElevatedSystems newer Intel processors that were suffering from heat and stability issues received bios updates that give standard Intel baseline clocks which improve stability but also reduced performance by like 20% I don't know if it made it to framework, specifically.

@@chrismurphy2769 ok I was confused. I thought you were talking about the new AMD FW BIOS update. The intel update you are referring to only applied to motherboard manufacturers that allowed for non standard clock speeds, and I think it only applied to desktop motherboards. In any case FW uses standard package TDPs and clocks.

So I never thought i would say this, but, honestly, between the battery life, performance and heat it's hard to justify a windows thin and light. And while it is possible that the next gen of ARM windows laptops might solve this problem or maybe later x86 mobile processors. The only thing keeping me on Windows is the lack of good raytracing support because for everything else Apple is as good if not better than the competition. And while I love how repairable Framework is. The perfomance is not where I want it to be. The 16 inch might change my mind but I do 3D character modeling and rendering. So I have a very specific set of requirements.

I actually couldn't reset my PIN even with the ethernet adapter, and had to do a fresh install of Windows to complete my upgrade. Fortunately, I backed up my data on an external drive beforehand, and I was up and running soon enough. I'm using my original 55W battery from my 11th Gen laptop, and was able to get 8+ hours of light work right out of the box (including an hour or so of playing Stellaris to test the graphics & fan, which was silent).

From my (bare knowledge), windows' power management when in sleep mode doesn't put the CPU in proper power state for low power usage, hence the battery life can be a mix of "Oh shoot, only lost 3%" to "Oh god half my battery is gone"... Or if you are unlucky, and windows UPDATES ITSELF DURING SLEEP... Kiss your battery goodbye :P

Really helpful video! What about video out over USB-C? Can a multi-port dock use a single USB-4 cable to charge the AMD Framework 13 while also driving two 4K monitors? If so, 60hz limit or 144hz ability for two (or more) 4k monitors over a single cable to a capable USB-4 dock, like over Thunderbolt 3/4 cable using a capable Thunderbolt dock for the Intel 13th Gen Framework? How "good" are those two rear ports with USB-C modules installed? Also would love any info about AMD benchmark performance versus Intel 13th Gen Framework.

I wonder if you also use that Macbook Pro as your desktop setup as you did use a Mac Studio at one point (so it might also be more convenient to have one device for everything instead of having to switch between devices). I do wonder how much better battery life LPDDR brings, but it sadly doesn't exist as modules to replace like regular DDR. As that is also a difference between Macs and Framework.
