Framework has good news and bad news

Framework says it secured cheaper PCIe Gen 5 SSDs from Adata, letting some Laptop 13 Pro buyers get a 1TB SSD instead of 500GB at a lower price. The company is also adding configurations with new 1TB and 2TB SSD options, though availability may still be uneven during the component crunch.

The move shows how modular PC makers can turn supplier pricing shifts into customer-facing upgrades, reinforcing Framework’s repairable and configurable laptop pitch. But the broader component shortage remains a reminder that even niche hardware brands are still exposed to supply-chain volatility.
