Almost all of the modules that make up Framework Laptop 16 are now in stock in the Framework Marketplace, for the DIY purists who need to build from parts.
(We don't actually recommend doing this. It will result in a ton of extra packaging and shipping overhead. You can just buy a Framework Laptop 16 DIY Edition, take it fully apart, and pretend we shipped it to you that way.)

Update to xz issue, for Fedora 40 Beta.
"ISO as released had the old version. The bad update was only there for a few days in testing and is pulled. There's a minor caveat that there's a chance that some mirrors may have synced the bad updates-testing but not updated to remove it. Unlikely, but possible. I would recommend disabling the updates-testing repo before updating as a precaution."

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.

The first few pallets of Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series) are on their way out of Taiwan to Batch 1 customer doorsteps! We're looking forward to seeing what you all think of them.

Worth celebration. 322 days ago we created our Mastodon account.

Today, we're at 10.5k followers. Not half bad. We could not have accomplished this without you all.
When I first pitched the importance of doing this, I KNEW the community here would step up.
From me personally ( @npub148y…kazv) Linux Support Lead) to you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As reviews drop today, especially when you read about Linux compatibility, read and bookmark this as the source of truth. Note compatibility specifically.

Shipping prices have been reduced from €30 to €12 for the EU, and from £24 to £10 for the UK!
Originally, when our marketplace parts were being shipped to customers in the EU and the UK, they were being shipped directly from Taiwan. But thanks to you guys wanting to buy parts, we were able to partner with Fedex Fulfillment Services to create a regional fulfillment center in the Netherlands and pass the savings onto you. But as always, your laptop ships for free!

We recently closed out our original factory in China and learned that there was a substantial amount of partially and fully complete 11th Gen material left over. We're processing this through our new factory in Taiwan and discounting it to make sure it doesn't go to waste.
We also have i7-1165G7 ($299) and i7-1185G7 ($399) boards available.
