Introducing the AMD Advantage Framework Laptop 16

Yeah, the 7700S with only 8GB of VRAM when AMD went on and on and on and on about 8GB of VRAM not being enough is really disappointing. Hopefully more modules get announced soon.

[@filip.a.]

unfortunately i dont think this 16 inch variant launch will be accompanied by any other configs gpu wise, they are probably using it to test the waters and see how many people are interested and then for the next gen of gpu's they will probably offer 2-3 sku's with probably different panel options to purchase/configure, i would hope they offer 165/175 hz and 240hz panel options for next upgrade.

True. I am patiently awaiting delivery of the Framework 13 with the latest Ryzen 7 chip. We should all celebrate innovation and consumer protection when it occurs.

Just wanted to let both AMD and Framework know that I am super excited about this collaboration. I want to see Framework become a new disruptive standard within the laptop market. For far too long have I felt cheated and exploited by buying laptops that are not upgradeable, or repairable. Looking forward to this new exciting venture and era of laptops!

[@TankTheSpank]

One thousand for non upgradable laptop vs. 2k for same laptop but upgradeable. Just replacing the cpu and the Gpu cost 1k.

Swappable/upgradable screens would be awesome (more Hz for example, or higher resolution)

[@buka9330]

I think you can do that? I think I saw linus change the display in his 13inch framework.

[@filip.a.]

they dont have other higher Hz or resolution options available, im afraid this launch for the 16 inch will be very limited in its initial launch and for the next gen of gpu's they might extend to more options..

[@s4shrish]

@@filip.a. The best part hypothetically is that you can UPGRADE to the better screen later on as well. My family has a total of 4 defunct/retired laptops. We use them in different capacities, sometimes as storage backups, but really they are seriously getting wasted. One of them is 2014 Lenovo laptop that was supposed to have the UltraBay expansion port, but due to limited availabilty of the GPU, I never got to upgrade it past the GT 755M. Done correctly, framework can do so much more, where others have failed. And if OpenAI leapfrogging giants (even it's own investor) is what we are seeing today, this is no impossibility.

[@buka9330]

@@filip.a. They might have more options in the future. Rn you get VRR 165Hz screen, which sounds like enough for a laptop. If you want more, stop playing yourself and get a PC with OLED or strobed LCD.

Well done to both Framework and AMD. Both companies are making strides on changing a very broken consumer electronics industry and toxic societal norm of the throwaway mentality. I have historically been a diehard ThinkPad owner for the better part of a decade, but have also been a diehard Right to Repair and sustainability advocate for even longer. I have owned a Framework 13 (12th Gen Intel) since January 2023 and will never own a laptop from another company. I'm a huge fan of Framework's mission and product! I preordered my Framework 16 yesterday (Batch 8) and can't wait to receive it next year! Thanks, Framework and AMD! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@incognitobandito244]

After the website crashing a bunch of times I finally preordered one with the graphics module after an hour of refreshing. My last laptop was a 2016 HP and it stopped updating because of the CPU and that really pushed me to this product.

[@veleriphon]

Thanks for joining Framework with gusto. The laptop market has been swirling the drain with desktop thermals the last few years. Maybe now, laptops can get back to being a pleasant experience.

[@jitterrypokery1526]

Yeah screw razer specifically

[@vocassen]

Same. Right at the stage in my life where I feel like investing in something that will last me for many, many years. Usually don't preorder things, but it is exactly what I'm looking for, and even though it hurts quite a bit with a 2000€ price point for my target build, I think it is a worthwhile investment. Only real downer is that I'll be missing the liquid resistance, my current cheaper thinkpad really saved me a few times by shrugging off a glass of water on the keyboard like it's nothing...

[@AninoNiKugi]

Tech innovations and developments has become a race in the past decade or so. Most companies forgot to create tech the "right way" and instead focused on getting profit as fast as possible and as much as possible. It's so awesome to have something like this and actually gaining mainstream support and visibility. Most companies that tries to do things right are niche and expensive for people to actually care.

[@MarcABrown-tt1fp]

@@yasha1928 "It's a partnership" that doesn't say much in this case as AMD laptop motherboards are nothing new, it was simply a drop in. AMD had nothing to do with the Laptop design except validation that it was compatible with a motherboard and that they have motherboards built for it, Ok sure that takes a "measure" of effort, but AMD doesn't have much "claim" over the design of the laptop chassis other than the AMD advantage guidelines, which are basically quality of life measures. They worked together to get a full CPU and discreet GPU motherboard to fit in the chassis, and troubleshoot framework drivers (if any), and convenience factors basically, something intel has been doing for a long time.

[@Mageoftheyear]

Wow. I'm surprised Framework will be offering an Advantage Edition - I was not expecting a dGPU option, much less a Radeon dGPU. I'm really happy to see this, as opposed to every other OEM who have 95% Ryzen + GeForce laptops with no Radeon option. I bet this thing is going to be back-ordered to high-heaven when Strix-Halo is released next year. And add on an OLED screen to that? Gonna be killer. Hopefully the pricing stays competitive.

[@IdeasAreBulletproof]

Maybe they'll do 12 and 16gb to their S series of GPUs next year in Navi 3.5

[@XieRH1988]

13 years ago, I had my first gaming laptop which had a radeon 5870. The GPU was removable, using the MMCX connector. I even took it out once during repasting and held it in my hand. Back then as I looked at green rectangle with the shiny metal die in its centre, I wondered if the GPU could be upgraded. Years later, with more knowledge on how PCs work, I learned that it's not that simple. Swappable doesn't mean upgradeable. CPUs and GPUs are not like USB devices that "just work" even if you plug them into a a device from a decade ago. There's thermal and power considerations, there's socket compatibility which changes roughly every 2 CPU generations. I also saw how brands like Alienware tried and failed to pursue upgradeable laptop GPUs (Area-51m), I saw how BGA replaced LGA on laptops, making their CPUs all permanently soldered-on. There was virtually no room left for any optimism that anyone would ever make a laptop with replaceable/upgradeable components. Framework has the right idea, but they are still very young in the laptop market. In the world of tech, companies can rise and fall in the blink of an eye, and no one can be blamed for being skeptical. I really hope they succeed and thrive, and look forward to the day where I can hold a framework laptop GPU in my hand, just like that radeon 5870 from all those years ago.

[@kazioo2]

Around that time I swapped Nvidia GPU to AMD GPU in a laptop, but it was similar performance. The old GPU was dying and couldn't get the same one. I was surprised changing to different vendor in a laptop actually worked.
