Key Points:
- Framework announced it secured cheaper PCIe Gen 5 SSDs from supplier Adata, allowing customers who preordered a 500GB SSD configuration to receive a 1TB SSD at a lower price.
- New configurations with 1TB or 2TB SSDs are now available for order, although they are not yet visible in the DIY configurator.
- The company warned that CPU prices are expected to rise soon, which will likely lead to an increase in the overall price of the Framework Laptop 13 Pro for new orders.
- Framework originally planned to ship the Laptop 13 Pro in June but delayed shipments to July due to issues with the haptic touchpad and custom display.
- The component crisis continues to impact tech hardware prices broadly, with recent price increases also announced for Apple devices and Xbox consoles.
