Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300, 2025)

Announced in February 202512, the Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300) features AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen AI 300 series processors with RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics. It supports up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory34 and introduces a new 2.8K 120 Hz IPS display option3. The design retains Framework's emphasis on modularity, with most parts compatible with earlier releases1. DIY edition starts at $849, pre-built at $1,049567.

The same AMD Ryzen AI 300 mainboard is also offered as a configuration of the Framework Laptop 13 Pro (with the CNC chassis, haptic touchpad, 2.8K touchscreen, and 74 Wh battery)8. Because the AMD board uses standard DDR5 SO-DIMM rather than LPCAMM2, it is unaffected by the 2026 LPCAMM2 shortage8.

Known Issues​

  • MediaTek MT7925 (RZ717) Wi-Fi Issues — See the full problem page for details.
  • USB-C UCSI errors on Linux — Kernel 6.9+ produces GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed error messages on boot and when plugging/unplugging USB-C devices. See the full problem page for details.
  • Battery flipping between charging and discharging — Battery status rapidly oscillates when on AC power with a charge limit set, causing microcycling, LED flicker, and dock disconnections. See the full problem page for details.
  • USB-A Expansion Card stops working — The USB-A expansion card may stop providing power and recognizing devices after shutdown or sleep until physically removed and reinserted. See the full problem page for details.
  • Suspend/resume freezes — Multiple root causes: amdgpu MES failures after resume, Infinity Fabric sync floods (S5_RESET_STATUS = 0x08000800), and kernel regressions. A community A/B-tested workaround is pm_async=0; disabling PSR via amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 or 0x610 also helps91011.
  • Mushkin CL40 RAM breaks suspend — The Framework-recommended 96 GB (2×48 GB) Mushkin CL40 kit causes suspend/resume failures. Workaround: swap to Crucial CL46 (e.g. CT48G56C46S5)12.
  • Samsung EP-T6530 65 W Trio charger shuts off laptop — PD negotiation fails (unknown error 256 UCSI), laptop powers off after ~2 min13.
  • Dell 130 W charger can damage PD controller — HDMI/DP cards overheat and ports enter a reset loop; hardware damage requiring RMA14.

Linux​

  • Minimum kernel: 6.12 (NixOS 25.05+); recommended 6.14+, best = latest stable (6.17+). linux-lts lacks Strix Point stability patches1920.
  • NPU (XDNA2) now usable on Linux via the amdxdna driver + FastFlowLM runtime. Ubuntu 26.04 ships drivers preinstalled; Arch has xrt/xrt-plugin-amdxdna/fastflowlm packages. Achieves ~18 tok/s on gpt-oss-20b21.
  • ROCm 6.4.4 officially supports the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series (Strix Point) on Ubuntu 24.04.322.
  • Framework's official workaround for system freezes: amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x610 (disable PSR + Panel Replay)23.
