somehow word got out to the framework

team that I was heading to Cooler Master

to cover the case that they built in

collaboration with framework so imagine

their disappointment when they all

showed up and found out Cooler Master

wasn't demoing it fortunately framework

CEO extraordinaire narav showed up with

a care package that has both The Cooler

Master case and the reason that I need

it you see I am going to be the first

person outside of framework to upgrade

my original framework laptop which

started its life as an 11th gen Intel

machine to ryzen 7000 mobile all I need

now is somewhere to perform the surgery

oh

and this Segway to our sponsor Mexico

whether you're in need of webcams or

accessories for your VR device nexigo

has a great selection of products to

choose from learn more about them at the

link below I have to know for the team

bed framework how painful was it

watching me last time screw up like half

of this upgrade process that hurt to

watch you do understand I've still

looked at none of the documentation

right fully expect that you've never

read documentation in your life but now

that's not fair but you are here to make

sure nothing goes wrong right definitely

first you need a screwdriver oh

I got you there never leave home with

that one yeah absolutely I mean did you

see me taking apart the new uh Nvidia

Grace Super Chips

oh boy uh

don't judge me look from a waste

standpoint that's true you should keep

using this vintage chat melts or exactly

disintegrates somehow that's what I'm

talking about and the fact that I can

keep using it with Modern Hardware

that's the whole point is and if you

build a LTT Hammer you can bang the dent

back out we may actually do that for the

uninitiated this is one of the coolest

things about the framework laptop the

modular i o you can have USBC usba HDMI

you can have four hdmis on your laptop

if you really wanted to I don't think

you could drive them all at the same

time but you can drive three of them

actually you can drive all four if

you're not using the internal display on

Intel okay all right fair enough he's

just gonna correct everything every

every sentence is gonna have a

correction it's good because the

audience likes seeing me taking down a

peg ah no no no no okay hold on hold on

hold on yes good Infamous to me it's

been a while since I've done this wait

wait you have to power it off Chris why

well technically I guess you could leave

it on but it's bad for your OS

permission no okay hold on I'm not gonna

break the ribbon cable I remember the

ribbon cable good okay how cool is it

that this is magnetic though okay it's

like a fidget toy I mean

you heard it from the CEO first this is

a fidget toy how much are you guys

enjoying watching me bug him or our head

of ideas looking at this thinking like

oh my God what's happening to this

laptop so that goes up a little

something like that and then there's a

little pull tab here now my keyboard and

trackpad both of which are user

serviceable are removed well to start

removing things the SSD has got to come

out now I'm gonna remove the Wi-Fi card

yes

let's put that with that those are

actually the same so that's okay they're

color coded right yes yes not cool oh

yeah and there's extras just in case you

are me and you lose some huh I didn't

tell you this but aside from wanting to

upgrade I've had an issue with my

display

okay every once in a while it just like

you know does stuff so I figure I

probably screwed up something here you

might have by scratching around like

that and possibly it's a graphics driver

issue and you need to update your

drivers that's one possibility okay well

One Way Or Another We're Gonna

disconnect this yes if you are not

careful with the EDP cable you might

have messed up somewhere something in

there cool now I'm gonna pull out this

daughter board thing yeah just just just

relax I'm gonna release the latch sort

of actually you want to disconnect it

from the other side okay that also

happened it came off it'll probably go

back on oh oh oh speakers yes and you've

got two more cables

don't tell me the answers okay we've got

the whatever the crap this is yeah

oh six fudger not a metal

screwdriver for that

you say there's another one that's

important one I wouldn't have noticed

that so oh God the battery's still

connected well there's your problem I

should have done that one first

realistically oh it's actually safe to

disconnect the other cables while the

battery is still plugged in as long as

the LEDs aren't blinking oh okay what

why do the LEDs matter so the LEDs are

indicating that the main board is still

powered and we've designed this in a way

that if the systems open like that and

powered off it'll shut itself off after

about five or ten seconds and then you

can do anything safely so it's like

chassis intrusion but in a way that's

not yeah that's helpful and then the

best way to remove the main board is to

just flip it upside oh my God

okay that'll work don't do that anyone

please strictly speaking there's nothing

else I need to do that's it but I do

want to investigate my EDP cable

so we're gonna pull off my bezel yeah

you should open that

further it's easier to take the bezel

off oh got the tech tips here framework

Tech tips okay so what did I do I think

that routed this wrong yeah you have to

be careful there's a routing channel

here and you want to Route it through

there and you have to carefully route it

around the hinge in a way where it

doesn't get pinched yeah not bad you've

built a laptop before build a few

thousand up I'm sure we got to make a

big decision do we want to put the AMD

board in now or do we want to put this

in The Cooler Master case cooler

Master's been generous enough to lend us

their Booth why don't we put it in the

case can I can I call on the case pm to

come help me with that Esther do you

want to act go in the video do the case

it's okay they'll give you direction for

for what to do

he told me I don't need to speak

oh that was a lie why would we put a

microphone on you if you don't have to

speak who designed the case then Cooler

Master or framework we designed together

oh really okay it's a very useful case

so if you got our laptop and you need to

replace the motherboard and then you got

a older one so you can place it on this

magic box okay now hold on a second

what's that a rubber stand with a Visa

monk schools oh on the bottom side so

you can mount it on the desk or use the

screws that are in here and then what

put them in the keyholes and mount it to

the back of a monitor anywhere you want

yes now tell me something the laptop

itself only has an intake on the bottom

but the case has an intake on the back

on the front why is that so we try to

make the inkjet more so you can release

more hits oh so it's just to improve

cooling yeah now your job is very simple

if I do anything wrong you have to stop

me okay do you think you can do that I

can do it okay perfect whose idea was it

to do a clear front we kind of to put

our part online to be transparent to the

various modules cool oh and it's got

labels and stuff too and vme type c Ram

slots very cool that's going to be

awkward if you guys ever change the

layout of the board is the layout of the

board ever going to change

excited

okay and it just goes in like that and

the whole thing just like fits by

friction or you still need to a school

on you sure yeah because it seems to be

in right now yeah because I already

don't need to wait yeah okay oh I get it

the screw holes have what are called

screw bosses and these actually push

down on the motherboard everywhere where

a screw goes into the top of the chassis

securing it with no motherboard screws

at all yep so if I wasn't busy chit

chatting I could do this whole operation

in like two minutes by yourself yeah by

myself you sure by myself

I mean did you watch the video where I

upgraded my laptop

yeah so now I just do up all the screws

yeah and actually we can put up if you

want to abandon this laptop you can use

the audio card to insert here and also

for the Wi-Fi card you can put here oh

we also didn't put any Ram in it yeah

now you included the screws for those

cards but I couldn't help noticing that

there's no antenna for the Wi-Fi card

people can use the external antenna from

here or they can also buy our antenna

module as laptops in our Marketplace but

you don't include it in the case yeah we

don't include it in the case okay I

probably would want that included in the

case but um okay so right now I have no

audio interface unless I buy another one

uh you can right but I still need my

laptop okay so you can use our audio we

got Audio car oh right I could just get

an audio USBC module

not right now now all we need to do is

install RAM SSD I gotta say aside from

that I you know didn't order some of the

components that I need that is pretty

much the easiest computer I've ever

built we're done now right yeah I didn't

miss anything this time

um not all this time on a laptop

obviously your power button is wired up

to the motherboard somewhere where's my

power button how about in here we

highlight in Orange so basically it's a

little piece of plastic that presses a

button on the main board itself to power

it on and off usb-a USBC HDMI and

instead of putting in my second USBC I'm

actually gonna borrow this two and a

half gig module from narav

I'm gonna try

sure there we go now we have display USB

and ethernet we just got to find

somewhere to power it on

wait

power oh right USBC that makes sense

took me a sec it's upside down oh this

way

the last step is to Power It Up Cooler

Master was kind enough to lend us their

motion one chair demo here so can I just

start unplugging things sure okay

fantastic now we borrowed a DisplayPort

module from norov because of course he

has one of those why change your cable

when you can change your i o the lights

on right yeah

there we go yay

okay you guys are selling it a little

hard here you can't blame them for being

passionate about what they do and

there's that Windows update

I just want to shut the thing down and

more updates no it's time for the Big

Show he was so like oh no I can't let

you have the AMD motherboard oh the

firmware's not ready before we started

this video oh no the other media will be

mad that I let you have the AMD

motherboard so he made me promise to say

it's because I'm an investor that I get

to play with the AMD motherboard you

want to provide two hundred thousand

dollars we will give you an AMD main

board anyone in the world out there I

wouldn't be surprised if someone is

crazy enough to do it you got to be

careful with stuff like that now in

theory

I don't have to do basically anything

here right you reverse what we just did

and put it back together what exactly am

I putting in my computer though is this

ryzen 7 ryzen 9 this is the ryzen 7040

Series so this year's latest platform

from AMD this is very similar to what

you're seeing in handheld gaming systems

like the Rog Ally which I mean I know

that you guys have never built the

framework 14 as a oh it's a 13 isn't it

framework 13. sorry as a gaming machine

but yeah the gaming performance is there

especially with uh two six of ram I am

so excited wait oh you already put the

ram in for me preloaded for you 16 gigs

of RAM that's it I'm sorry this is also

a ryzen 5. this is not the ryzen 7

version because we gave the engineering

team all the good main boards so if I

understand you correctly people have to

give you two hundred thousand dollars

and you're gonna give them a half baked

rice five yes it's great raisin five is

really great though you know for an evil

super villain you present very nicely

tell me something did you guys

completely reuse the same thermal

solution it is almost the same the Fan's

the same the heat pipes are the same the

heat spreader is actually different to

match the die got it because it's the

Height's a little different the XY is a

little different and the power

regulation around it is different I have

to confess I debated you in here a

little bit because I wanted to ask some

questions on behalf of the community

starting with why the hell did this take

so long when you're a startup as you

know having been a new company many

years ago it is hard to get attention

from the right people you have to build

credibility you have to put in the work

you have to put in the hours and people

realize that you're serious people see

that you're doing something important

people see that the community is getting

excited and then we start to unlock

better ability to do more and so

ultimately the question is like why why

isn't framework done anything

yeah why haven't they done anything yeah

the answer is asking himself the big

question why have we done anything now

the answer is either we don't have

enough people we have to focus so we

really really have to focus we have more

ideas than people we don't have the

money sometimes people give us money to

help us out which is great or we haven't

been able to get the right connections

at the right partner to do the thing

that we wanted to do so I got debated

you lured me in here to ask for more

money I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say

anything he actually didn't say no don't

say no okay I guess I'll just screw it

on the motherboard first you can yeah

okay you should make sure you're not

pinching any of the cables under the

main board okay but you there's like one

there and one there

gee relax you know for someone who

didn't even bring me the new higher

capacity battery you're being awfully

correct I was gonna ask about that

actually if you wanted one I could have

brought one same with the panel actually

the matte screen I'm okay with the

glossy screen yeah I like seeing the

outline of my uh my keycaps okay okay

then I get my y Wi-Fi over kind of

here-ish right yeah you can put them

through the routing channels these

rubber channels also this we have a new

Wi-Fi bracket that's a lot easier to use

this is the old one oh okay cool now you

said the label's not right on this is it

Wi-Fi seven it is it is Wi-Fi 6E but I

just reused uh case that we had on

really you're gonna give me an Intel box

and you're going to give me a mediatek

Wi-Fi module it's an AMD Media Tech

combo rz616 module co-branded AMD

mediatek so the trick to this is you

keep your finger on it while you're

putting it in there yeah we'll hold on

the first trick is that I have to find

the screw yeah because I think it's

stuck to a magnet somewhere oh no no we

got it now I'll just plug in my display

and hopefully not ruin that this time

why didn't you do a better job of

stopping me oh okay it's labeled it's

labeled actually it doesn't end up both

sides the same but we label it anyway it

looks like I'll have to wait a little

bit to actually have a secondary

computer made out of my main board but

this is such a cool concept I mean you

guys said before yeah you can reuse your

old main board for something

but I feel like over the last two three

years that sort of aspirational dream

has actually come true like if you buy a

framework today whether it's 13th gen

Intel you wait a little bit you get the

rise in one once it's not two hundred

thousand dollars that is a very usable

Machine by the time you're pulling the

motherboard out of it putting it in a

cool little chassis like this and then

repurposing it for a media PC or for a

retro gaming box definitely or whatever

else not to mention that on the Intel

side you've got support for Thunderbolt

so you can even hook an egpu up to the

thing if those ever get affordable wait

you guys should do an EGP we did show a

demo of one at our event a concept demo

of one see they were all like no you

have to come to our event to see

everything and I was like look I know

I'm not coming to the event they're like

well then

we're just not gonna bring everything

so I didn't even know I actually didn't

watch the event are you okay so I did

not know that that's fair I didn't watch

your last video either it's amazing how

quickly this relationship went from

let's support each other to do great

things in the PC industry to purely

adversarial record time I think uh hold

up I'm not done yet no that's right

that's power I got I got my cable routed

I got so you have to be careful in this

yeah yeah yeah you have to be careful

mom so now all I gotta do is put my

keyboard trackpad back on here I really

like this cable the way that it kind of

is nice and long and you can kind of you

know yeah this is called uh oh I think I

just powered it on yeah is that okay uh

yeah I mean that's good right so the

blue light means powered on right no

actually that blue light's a debugging

light so I'm not sure why it's on oh

sick that's not on the actual shipping

systems that's for debugging oh okay and

then I have more flashing red lights in

fact there's flashing red lights all

over the motherboard but you are

powering up oh but I'm powering on so I

should Maybe cover it this back together

are you sure you'd like me to cover it

now yeah you're good well yeah no you're

good first boot outside of the lab AMD

framework laptop

I actually don't know the answer to this

whether this is gonna boot so this is

genuinely a surprise

I had to be extremely let's say

assertive to get him to let me show you

guys the AMD motherboard it's really

really not done yet there's a ton of

firmware work to be done like the thing

with going from Intel generation to

Intel generation is two things one he

didn't say this I just know this Intel

has a lot of structures in place to

support their oems that AMD doesn't

always have analogs for number two is

going from Intel generation to Intel

generation there's a lot less to rework

but it turned on anyway I'm genuinely

surprised happily that that worked now

he made me promise not to go any further

than the login screen I didn't I didn't

go any further than that on camera can

you tell me why I can't go to the

desktop the firmware and the drivers are

definitely not baked also I didn't bring

any drivers so you're running Intel

drivers on an AMD main board right now

what could go wrong neither AMD or Intel

is going to give either of us the answer

to that I'll tell you what here hold on

hold on I'm altering the deal pray I

don't alter it further we

go until wait hold on okay until the

slightest abnormal behavior and then the

video hard cuts

so we won't show any of it can't do it

you can can't do it this is it what do

you mean can't my my keyboard doesn't

work no my keyboard doesn't work I can

do but you can't log in right now

actually you probably can't I don't like

that I probably can

he said it no you probably can't oh

can't you think I can't log in do you

think my fingerprint will work no your

opinion your PIN is required but your

PIN can't be used because your PIN is no

longer available why did you break my

laptop I'm sorry okay but actually hold

on a second what does all this mean so

the key to all of this is that when we

actually ship this we have guides that

we publish step by step super easy to

follow guides got it you follow it step

by step everything just works God you do

this it happened to get this far which

is great actually so I think we're stuck

at this point because you're not on a

network because you don't have the Wi-Fi

drivers so you can't connect your

Microsoft account to log into it

intentionally what's the ETA for this

all right so we are starting shipping in

Q3 batch one is in Q3 and actually right

now we're all the way out in Q4 so we've

had a ton of demand for AMD oh I see so

if people want to get one this year they

do probably need an order yeah okay and

uh full disclosure I am an investor in

framework laptop anchor whatever the

company so you make ink we it we get

asked a lot to make a printers man this

might not be just throwing my money away

after all and this might not be throwing

away this segue to our sponsor
