Framework Doubles Laptop 13 Pro SSDs to 1TB at Lower Price After Adata Deal

3 articles · Updated · techbuzz.ai · Jun 25

Summary

  • 500GB Laptop 13 Pro preorders will now ship with 1TB PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, and customers will pay less than Framework originally quoted.
  • A new supply agreement with Adata unlocked cheaper drives, with Framework saying memory-market volatility created an opening to secure favorable pricing.
  • Framework also opened new 1TB and 2TB storage options for direct purchase, though its DIY configurator was still updating with the new choices.
  • The move stands out in a broader component crunch that has pushed rivals to raise prices or cut base specs, even as Framework has separately warned CPU costs could lift future Laptop 13 Pro prices.
