Soon: Upgrading my first gen @frameworkcomputer 13.

When I'm done my laptop will have an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 96GB of RAM, 2TB NVME, a matte display and a bigger battery. It's my work horse.

Ordered the display and battery over a year ago but never got around to actually doing the swap. Now I'll finally take care of it alongside the CPU & mainboard upgrade.

The old mainboard I'll throw into a Coolermaster case, will allow for easier migration, quasi zero downtime (or so I hope).

@foosel I am still waiting for that upcoming upgrade set* to be generally available ... my 11th gen intel framework13 has developed a weird slowness recently @frameworkcomputer

@oliof I decided to save some money and time... the Intel WiFi card still works fine with this one (AX210), and the RAM is less expensive at other shops too.

My 11th gen also felt slower and slower recently, so I'm quite happy about this upgrade. And the 61Wh battery in combo with this board so far also seems to work way better than the former combo.

@foosel @oliof you're making the right call on the ax210, I can't recall what it was but the amd wifi card I've got had some weirdness. It's patched out now but I do feel like one thing Intel does very well is networking stuff. That's all anecdotal though ymmv
