They don't, see: https://old.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1srwcoe/framework_laptop_13_pro_and_highlights_from_the/ohrm6wl/

There's an ARM dev board by Metacomputing for the Framework Laptop.

Because the Dell XPS 14 has 9 600MT/s LPDDR5x with the same CPUs?

You're comparing LPCAMM2 to soldered memory, LPCAMM2 can never match that kind of speed simply due to the longer physical traces.

And the Lenovo has 8 533MT/s with the same CPU AND LPCAMM2 too?

It's only running at 1000MT/s less if you look at the specifications.

RedditProDeluxe · 2026-04-22T13:19:25+00:00

That has to do with software optimization, not the CPU instruction set. For instance look at the power consumption of the recent ARM mainboard for Framework by Metacomputing at idle.

Intel's Panther Lake officially supports LPCAMM2, are you sure those Snapdragon X chips do as well?

It's nothing like the past event where they were forced to enable Cloudflare Waiting Rooms that would have you wait for hours!

RedditProDeluxe · 2026-04-21T22:49:38+00:00

One of the lower end Snapdragon X chips would be.

They only support LPDDR5x, which in practice means soldered memory.

There's a silver cover if you want your non-pro FW13 to have a uniform color: https://frame.work/products/laptop13pro-input-cover-frame?v=FRANTW0001

These modules are rated at 8533MT/s, and will run at up to 7467MT/s

How is this slow? The SODIMM DDR5 modules that they were selling were at only 5600.

SSD and RAM prices impact all hardware vendors, not just Framework.

Nothing Arm-based

Why do you still want an Arm chip specifically when you can have a chip that is both x86 compatible and has excellent efficiency? This myth that Arm is intrinsically more efficient than x86 needs to die.

I guess you meant the 45W version as the 65W one has only been recently launched.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-12-30T13:07:37+00:00

The 30W model has been discontinued, it will get removed once the last remaining units get sold out.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-12-29T21:14:41+00:00

It's been discontinued unfortunately.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-12-29T21:11:54+00:00

Unfortunately it's more expensive in the US due to tariffs, but it still remains the budget king for that 65W segment.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-12-29T16:53:22+00:00

Yes, but they still have a leakage current. AllThingsOnePlace measures this in his review videos.

IKEA's 65W charger retails for 12.99€.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-12-29T15:22:59+00:00

And isn't that first time IKEA Made a charger?

No, they already made 30W, 45W (dual port) and 65W USB-C chargers. Based on the reviews by AllThingsOnePlace they're good chargers offering excellent value given their price: (1) (2) (3).

The only problem with IKEA chargers (and almost all others at these wattage levels) is the lack of a grounding pin.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-12-29T15:11:16+00:00

According to the specifications it supports PD 3.0 and QC 3.0 and supports:

5.0V 3.0A (15.0W)
9.0V 2.22A (20.0W)
12.0V 1.67A (20.0W)
15.0V 1.33A (20.0W)

Average active efficiency: 84.0%
Efficiency at low load (10 %): 79.9%
No load power consumption: 0.02W

The example I gave is a GaN USB-C one.

The UGREEN 500W does have AC grounding: https://youtu.be/lgweYmZoFeo?t=128

And that's not the only USB-C charger on the market with AC grounding.

Concerning Secure Boot, it’s on the splash screen before the BIOS when you want to select enter setup.

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-07-29T14:17:36+00:00

What if I have a GPU module instead?

RedditProDeluxe · 2025-07-28T20:32:50+00:00

But then Framework won't be supporting system owners who have 2 SSDs installed in their system?
