■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Framework has secured cheaper PCIe Gen 5 SSDs from supplier Adata, allowing the company to upgrade preorders with 500GB configurations to 1TB drives without increasing prices.

The move addresses supply chain challenges affecting the computer industry. Framework CEO previously described the Laptop 13 Pro as the "MacBook Pro for Linux users." Customers with existing preorders for 500GB SSD configurations will automatically receive the larger 1TB drives. The cost reduction from Adata enables Framework to absorb the upgrade without passing expenses to buyers. The announcement comes as component shortages continue to strain hardware manufacturers. Framework's ability to negotiate better pricing on storage components allows the company to improve value for customers during a difficult market period. No details were provided regarding availability timelines or whether the pricing advantage extends to new orders placed after the announcement.
