Summary
Framework began pre-orders for the updated Laptop 12 on Tuesday, with the first Wildcat Lake-powered batch scheduled to ship in October.
Three DIY configurations start at $549 for the Core 3 304, $779 for the Core 5 320 and $999 for the Core 7 350, while pre-built versions cost $699, $1,099 and $1,399.
Intel's Core Series 3 "Wildcat Lake" refresh adds Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 7 and an optional backlit keyboard, and Framework will also offer Fedora Linux pre-loaded.
The DIY Edition ships without RAM or storage by default, underscoring Framework's modular, user-configurable approach as it expands Linux-friendly hardware options.
