Press Reviews of the AMD Ryzen 7040 Framework Laptop 13

The testing for Linux will require a few more weeks of delay due to a BIOS issue.<p>&quot;AMD Ryzen Powered Framework Laptop Linux Testing Held Up By BIOS Issue&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.phoronix.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;AMD-Framework-Linux-Hold" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.phoronix.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;AMD-Framework-Linux-Hold</a><p><i>&quot;Today the review embargo lifts on the first AMD-powered Framework laptop. There&#x27;s one of the AMD Framework laptops in the lab for Linux testing and benchmarking but unfortunately no review for launch day due to being held up by a BIOS regression and thus unable to properly utilize accelerated graphics until a new BIOS revision is made available in the coming days.&quot;</i><p><i>&quot;Long story short, in a week or two should be the Linux review and benchmarks for the new AMD Framework Laptop.&quot;</i>

These 7840Us[0] on the Framework 13 are performing surprisingly well compared to other laptops carrying the same CPU on Geekbench. Almost as good as the 7940HS[1].<p>MacBook Pro[2] and Air[3] M2, for reference.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=7840u" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=7840u</a> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=7940hs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=7940hs</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=macbook+pro+m2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=macboo...</a> [3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=macbook+air+m2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=macboo...</a>

From what I have seen in other reviews, Framework laptops seem great but the fan is a tad too noisy.<p>Any real experience with that? AMD ThinkPads are surprisingly quiet.

A GPU, a GPU! my Razer for a Framework with a GPU!<p>edit: Actually the integrated gpu is not as bad as I thought!<p>See here (different machine.. a very cool one!): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;66n1nylac0M?t=293" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;66n1nylac0M?t=293</a>

&gt; EU warehouse for Framework Marketplace items<p>What countries in Europe do they even deliver to? I&#x27;m in EU, had to buy mine through a friend in Canada and pay double VAT because there is no logistics.

interesting to see that the i7-1370P model had the same battery life as the Ryzen 7 7840U - I would have expected a larger delta

Still no support for ECC RAM. When is someone going to take a leadership position?

Still waiting for my Batch 2 Framework 16 !
