Framework “temporarily pausing” some laptop sales because of new tariffs
-
But without the plants and blue water.
-
Hey Framework, how about sending some laptops down under? I still am not able to buy any from the website here in NZ
Same here! I have one but can't get components any more because they locked down freight forwarding

Where is Puerto Rico?

How is pausing sales in one area, rather than just raising prices accordingly, the better business decision? No one is forcing them to sell at a specific price point.
Supply line disruptions

This is a hardware startup trying to attract customers away from the likes of Lenova, who has simpler products, a more mature supply chain, and economy-of-scale to their advantage. No way are they pricing to absorb 40%+ with day-to-day swings.
I prefer second-hand Lenovos to any new Lenova.

Or Canadian. Since they have quite a passionatr investor there already
Oh, of course, my intent was more "quit the US".
-
I would expect a small company like them to be the most vulnerable to tariffs. This might cause them to go out of business.
There are still countries other than the US.

I prefer second-hand Lenovos to any new Lenova.
Making it even tougher for Frameworks to win a customer like you over, even without 40%+ fuckery in pricing.

Jingoists don't think PR is part of the US either

I prefer to buy used. Less ewaste.
Also they're expensive, even w/o turdtax.
