From PC World: Framework’s Laptop 13 Pro looked and felt fantastic when the company showed it off in April. Unfortunately, a pair of manufacturing issues has delayed first shipments by about a month, pushing delivery out closer to the end of summer.
Problems with the Laptop 13 Pro’s stellar display, one of the things I was most impressed with in our Laptop 13 Pro hands-on time, has pushed the first shipments from late June to late July, Framework said Wednesday. Some units will now ship in early August. The delay will not affect shipments of Framework’s modular Mainboards, which now include the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processor inside.
All Laptop 13 Pro orders are fully refundable, Framework said.
To its credit, Framework has been and continues to be the most open, communicative laptop vendor in the industry, by far.
