Framework Raises Laptop 13 Pro Price $800 to $3,099, Cuts Some Preorders to 16GB RAM

Summary
$3,099 is the new price for Framework’s 32GB Laptop 13 Pro prebuilt, up from a planned $2,299 before the model reaches its first customers.
RAMageddon is driving the increase: the laptop uses newer LPCAMM2 memory, and Framework already reduced some reserved preorders from 32GB to 16GB while lifting prices on new orders.
The 13 Pro still lands as Framework’s strongest 13-inch design yet, with an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, 700-nit 120Hz touchscreen, haptic trackpad and roughly 10.5 hours of real-world battery life.
That hardware comes with tradeoffs beyond price — speakers remain weak and chassis temperatures briefly hit 57C under heavy load.
The surge is testing demand for niche, upgradeable hardware, with some Framework fans reportedly canceling orders even as existing Laptop 13 owners can buy many Pro parts separately.
