Framework Laptop Pro: SSDs cheaper, CPUs pricier
26 Jun
Summary
- Framework now includes larger SSDs at lower prices for preorders.
- CPU prices are expected to rise soon, affecting future laptop costs.
- Initial shipments were delayed to July due to touchpad and display issues.
Framework is offering an unexpected benefit to customers awaiting their Laptop 13 Pro preorder. Due to securing more affordable PCIe Gen 5 SSDs from Adata, configurations originally ordered with a 500GB SSD will now receive a 1TB SSD at a reduced cost. Customers can also now order systems equipped with new 1TB or 2TB SSD options.
However, this good news is tempered by a warning about rising costs. Framework has observed signals indicating future CPU price increases, anticipating a necessary adjustment to the overall system price for the Laptop 13 Pro in the near future for new orders. This development aligns with broader industry trends of increased tech hardware pricing.
The company also recently informed customers that initial shipments for the Laptop 13 Pro, initially slated for June, have been postponed to July. This delay is attributed to ongoing refinements concerning the laptop's haptic touchpad and its custom display.
Framework initially announced the Laptop 13 Pro in April, with production and delivery timelines being adjusted as the company addresses component sourcing and technical optimizations.
