Review: Ryzen AI CPU makes this the fastest the Framework Laptop 13 has ever been

The Framework Laptop 13 has evolved significantly since its initial release, becoming more reliable and upgradeable over time. With the Ryzen AI 300 series, it now offers substantial improvements in CPU and GPU performance, including a high-performance option for light gaming or tasks without NVIDIA-accelerated GPUs, though this comes with a trade-off in battery life compared to other laptops. Prebuilt models start at $1,099, while DIY versions begin at $899, plus the cost of additional components like RAM and storage. Notably, it’s the first Framework Laptop to meet Microsoft's Copilot+ requirements, enabling access to locally processed AI features.
