World Exclusive: Upgrading my Framework Laptop to AMD takes the viewer through a hands on teardown and upgrade journey, highlighting Framework’s modular design and collaboration with Cooler Master. The video starts with Linus and the Framework team planning to upgrade from an 11th Gen Intel framework laptop to AMD Ryzen 7000 mobile, with Nirav from Framework providing guidance and live commentary. We see the teardown unfold, including removing the SSD, Wi Fi card, and battery while discussing safety cautions and the importance of grounding and proper cable routing. The segment then transitions to the decision of whether to install the AMD mainboard inside the laptop itself or inside the Cooler Master case, with a demonstration in the booth that showcases the Cooler Master x Framework case and its mounting approach. When the AMD mainboard is finally installed, the video dives into the first boot, firmware challenges, drivers, and the realities of bringing a new CPU platform to a modular laptop, including comments on the need for proper firmware and driver support and the ongoing process to finalize the product for shipping. The closing portions cover the anticipated shipping timeline, with Framework indicating a Q3 to Q4 window depending on production and firmware readiness, and the discussion threading into consumer interest and investment narratives, emphasis on ongoing documentation and guides, and a nod to the synergy between investor support and engineering milestones. Throughout, the presenters celebrate the concept of reusing components and building a future where a single framework can evolve across generations, while acknowledging the work still required to reach a fully polished, consumer-ready product. The video culminates with reflections on the importance of community, transparency, and real world testing as a path to broader adoption of modular laptops, and a tease of related content and partnerships that expand the Framework ecosystem.
