Framework lowers Laptop 13 Pro prices in response to Apple’s Mac price hikes
Key Points:
- Framework has reduced the pricing for PCIe Gen 5 SSD configurations in its Laptop 13 Pro DIY Edition by switching to ADATA’s XPG MARS 970 SSD, which offers improved performance, efficiency, and reliability at a lower cost.
- The new ADATA SSD is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities for new pre-orders, and existing orders with previous Gen 5 SSDs will be updated to the ADATA drives with reduced pricing; notably, 500GB SSD selections will be upgraded to 1TB models at a lower price.
- This pricing adjustment applies only to DIY Edition laptops using Gen 5 SSDs, while pre-built systems remain unaffected as they currently use Gen 4 drives.
- Framework has indicated that CPU prices may rise soon, potentially leading to overall price increases for the Laptop 13 Pro on new orders, and advises customers to pre-order soon with the option for full refunds before shipping.
