You can also pre-order the new Mainboards or the 2.8k display in the Framework Marketplace:

We've permanently reduced the prices on our AMD-powered Framework Laptop 13 models and remaining inventory of 13th Gen Intel Core and introduced new configurations of Ryzen 7040 Series DIY Edition with the 2.8k display, available for pre-order today: https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-amd/configuration/new

We're excited to announce the latest Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1, an optional 2880x1920 120Hz display (ideal for 2:1 scaling on Linux), and new configurations for businesses with 3 year warranties. Pre-orders are open now.

Wild test results from Phoronix. Great work @AMDRyzen and @ubuntu teams!

Our production in Taiwan is temporarily paused to prioritize worker safety while our manufacturing partner checks for any impact from the earthquake today. We're hoping for the best for our friends, colleagues, and partners across Taiwan. 🇹🇼

Are you Serial?

@sirber This is Sparta! 😜 😅

A good time to remind everyone that we are remote-first and are hiring: http://jobs.frame.work

Friendship ended with HDMI. Now DisplayPort is my best friend.

Per Phoronix:

"Crap! HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD"

"The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements."

We built the world's first 180W USB-C power adapter without realizing it. We just thought the new EPR standard was an obvious win, so we designed an adapter around it for Framework Laptop 16. We now have the adapter in stock in the Marketplace: https://frame.work/products/16-power-adapter?v=FRANCR000B

You can pick it up in the Marketplace, or purchase it on our Factory Seconds Kit page. Factory Seconds laptops are currently available in the US, Canada, and Australia. We’ve also posted a video explaining more about what Factory Seconds are and what B-stock looks like.

We’ve reduced the price of our B-stock Factory Seconds systems and now have a Framework Laptop 13 barebones configuration available for under $500 for the first time.

This is the i7-1165G7 model, so it has healthy performance too. Our Factory Seconds systems come without memory and storage, so to reduce the all-in price, we’re making refurbished DDR4 available at half the price of new.

News from the @FreeBSDFoundation

"A frequent request from the #FreeBSD community and fan base is a curated list of laptops validated to run FreeBSD out of the box. To this end, we've recently begun discussions with one of our favorite laptop companies, FrameworkPuter
Stay tuned!"

We really, really don’t want to have to make a printer, but wow.

We make computers for people who like computers.

We also make computers for people who hate computers.

We love you all, but sometimes you are a lot. So, we're hiring a Community Support Manager!

We're especially looking for someone who has a combination of technical depth with computers, familiarity working in a support context, and excellent communication skills.

The core of our brand today is: Instead of either being afraid of or pandering to power users, tinkerers, and enthusiasts like most consumers electronics companies do, we respect them.

Our long term mission is to extend this respect to everyone else too and hopefully turn some of them into power users by giving them access that others won’t.

Just a Black Friday reminder that we don’t do time-based sales. Instead, we keep pricing predictable. We also apply permanent discounts on last generation, refurbished, and factory seconds products: http://frame.work/outlet

Instead of enticing you to buy a product when you may or may not need it, we keep pricing stable so that when you do need it, it’s always at the lowest price to date.
