The Framework Laptop 13 is the modular, repairable notebook built by Framework around a swappable mainboard, user-replaceable memory and storage, and a set of interchangeable Expansion Card ports along both edges. This page covers the AMD versions: the Ryzen 7000 Series mainboard and the newer Ryzen AI 300 Series mainboard. Both share the same 13.5-inch chassis and keyboard deck, so it is easy to have one without knowing which board is inside. That is exactly why buyers pay for a working Framework 13 rather than parting it out: the mainboard, the display, the keyboard, and the battery are all individually serviceable, which keeps a unit sellable long after a sealed laptop would be scrapped. Pick your processor and condition in the picker above for a live cash offer. See how the process works, or head straight to the page to sell your laptop if you already know what you have.

Confirm you have the Framework Laptop 13

The fastest way to confirm your exact configuration is Windows: press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The Processor line tells you which mainboard generation you have. You can also check Settings → System → About, which lists the processor name directly under Device specifications. If you run Linux, inxi -C or lscpu in a terminal shows the same information.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series mainboard

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7640U or Ryzen 7 7840U
  • Shipped with the AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics
  • Windows shows the processor name in About or msinfo32

AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series mainboard

  • AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, Ryzen AI 7 350, or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
  • Newer chassis revision with an updated Radeon integrated GPU
  • Same identification path: About or msinfo32 shows the exact chip

Prefer a visual check? Flip the laptop over. Framework prints the mainboard revision on a small label near the bottom edge. Every Framework 13 also has four Expansion Card bays, two per side, with visible latch buttons, which distinguishes it from the larger Framework Laptop 16 at a glance.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7640U or Ryzen 7 7840U (Ryzen 7000 Series board)
  • AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, Ryzen AI 7 350, or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Ryzen AI 300 Series board)
  • The top-tier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 configuration carries the strongest resale value

Graphics

  • Integrated AMD Radeon graphics built into the processor
  • No discrete GPU option on the 13-inch chassis
  • Higher-tier processors pair with a stronger integrated GPU tier

Memory

  • DDR5 SO-DIMM, user-installed in two slots
  • Not soldered; buyers can verify capacity by opening the bottom panel
  • Dual-channel kits resell better than a single stick

Storage

  • M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, user-replaceable
  • A secondary M.2 2230 slot is present on most boards for expansion
  • Additional storage is possible through a Storage Expansion Card in the port bays

Display & audio

Display

13.5-inch panel in a 3:2 aspect ratio, matte finish. Framework offered this in a standard resolution 60Hz version and a higher-resolution 120Hz version, so confirm which panel is fitted before quoting condition, since a cracked or dead display affects the offer differently depending on the tier.

Audio

Stereo speakers with a dual-microphone array for calls. Sound is adequate for video calls and casual media, not a substitute for headphones on music.

Security

An optional fingerprint reader is built into the power button on most configurations. Confirm it is present and functional, since some early units and DIY builds shipped without it enabled.

Ports & connectivity

The signature feature of this laptop is that every port is a swappable Expansion Card. There are four bays, two on each side, and Framework sells cards in USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, MicroSD, Ethernet and storage formats. Whatever cards are installed when you send it in count toward the accessories on your quote.

Left side
  • Two Expansion Card bays (USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, MicroSD, or storage card)
Right side
  • Two Expansion Card bays, same module options

Battery, build & more

Battery

A user-replaceable internal battery, secured with standard screws rather than adhesive. A weak battery is a straightforward, well-documented repair rather than a reason to scrap the laptop.

Dimensions & build

A 13.5-inch aluminum chassis, thin bezels, and a keyboard deck that Framework sells separately, so keycaps and layout can vary between units built by different original owners.

Software

Ships with Windows on most retail configurations. DIY Edition units ship without an operating system installed, so note whether Windows is licensed and activated on the machine you are sending in.

Market positioning

Framework built its reputation on repairability and mainboard upgrades rather than raw specs. Buyers of used units value a laptop that can still take a new mainboard or battery down the line, which keeps demand steady even for older Ryzen 7000 boards.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Framework does not use a traditional model number, so the processor name is what identifies your configuration. Open Settings → System → About on Windows, or run msinfo32, and read the Processor line. That tells you whether you have a Ryzen 7000 Series board (Ryzen 5 7640U or Ryzen 7 7840U) or a Ryzen AI 300 Series board (Ryzen AI 5 340, Ryzen AI 7 350, or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370). If the laptop will not boot, the mainboard revision is also printed on a label on the underside of the chassis. You can also use our model finder if you are unsure which page to select.
02 How do I tell it apart from an Intel-based Framework Laptop 13?
The chassis, keyboard, and Expansion Card bays look identical across every Framework 13, whether it runs an Intel or AMD mainboard. The only reliable way to tell them apart is checking the processor name in Settings → System → About or msinfo32. An AMD unit will show Ryzen in the processor field; an Intel unit will show Core i5, Core i7, or Core Ultra. Do not rely on chassis color or port layout alone, since both variants shipped in the same finishes with the same card slots.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it will not turn on?
Yes. A cracked display, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a mainboard that will not boot are all common on used units, and the picker above lets you flag each condition so the quote adjusts accordingly. Before shipping, remove your Windows account link by signing out and disabling BitLocker where possible, since a locked drive slows down testing. If the laptop is fully dead, that is fine too. Just make sure any linked Microsoft account has been removed if the machine is still accessible.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
A higher-tier processor, more installed RAM, a larger SSD, and a healthy battery move the offer the most. Including the original charger and any Expansion Cards that shipped with the unit also helps, since buyers factor accessories into completeness. A clean chassis without cracked bezels or a discolored keyboard deck grades higher than one with visible wear, even when the internals are identical.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose Remove everything, then confirm. Before that, sign out of your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend it so the reset is not blocked. If you run Linux, wiping the drive with a bootable USB installer and choosing a full disk erase works the same way. Once reset, ship the laptop to us free of charge with insured shipping included. We test it on arrival and pay by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps for every platform are on our data erasure protocols page.
