Framework has reduced the price of its Laptop 13 Pro DIY Edition by incorporating cheaper PCIe 5.0 SSDs from ADATA. Customers who pre-ordered with a 500GB drive will receive a free upgrade to a 1TB drive, with a new 2TB option also available. This move is a response to price increases from competitors like Apple.
