Framework 有好消息也有坏消息

Framework has good news and bad news

部分 Laptop 13 Pro 机型正在降价。但 Framework 同时警告称，整个笔记本电脑产品线可能很快就会迎来涨价。

Some Laptop 13 Pros are getting lower prices. But Framework is also warning of a potential price hike for the whole laptop line sometime soon.

受零部件危机影响，现在并不是购买新电脑的好时机。但如果你正在等待 Framework Laptop 13 Pro（Framework 首席执行官将其称为“Linux 用户的 MacBook Pro”）的预购订单，该公司周四分享了一个好消息，这意味着你的设备成本可能会低于预期。该公司宣布，已从供应商 Adata 处获得了更便宜的 PCIe Gen 5 SSD。如果你之前预订了配备 500GB SSD 的配置，现在将以更低的价格获得 1TB SSD。Framework 还表示，现在可以订购配备全新 1TB 或 2TB SSD 的配置，尽管我在 DIY 配置器中尚未看到这些选项。

Thanks to the component crisis, it’s a bad time to want a new computer. But if you are waiting on a preorder for the Framework Laptop 13 Pro — which Framework’s CEO has called the “MacBook Pro for Linux users” — the company shared good news on Thursday that might mean yours will cost less than you expected. The company announced that it has secured cheaper new PCIe Gen 5 SSDs from its supplier, Adata, and if you had put in an order for a configuration with a 500GB SSD, you’ll now get a 1TB SSD at a lower price. Framework also said you can also now order configurations with the new 1TB or 2TB SSDs onboard, though I’m not seeing them in the DIY configurator yet.

但 Framework 也有一些坏消息。该公司表示，已经“收到信号，CPU 价格即将上涨”，因此预计在未来几周内，必须“针对新订单调整 Framework Laptop 13 Pro 的整体系统价格”。这对零部件危机来说不是一个好迹象，该危机已经导致科技硬件领域出现大幅涨价，包括周四宣布的苹果设备和 Xbox 主机涨价。

But Framework has some bad news, too. The company says that it has “gotten signals that CPU pricing will be increasing soon,” so it expects that it will have to “adjust the overall system price on Framework Laptop 13 Pro in the coming weeks for new orders.” Not a great sign for the component crisis, which has already led to major price increases across tech hardware, including some also announced on Thursday for Apple devices and Xbox consoles.

Framework 最初于 4 月发布了 Laptop 13 Pro，并原计划在 6 月发货首批产品。由于笔记本电脑的触觉触摸板和定制显示屏出现问题，该公司最近将首批出货时间推迟到了 7 月。

Framework initially announced the Laptop 13 Pro in April and originally planned to ship the first units in June. The company recently delayed those initial shipments to July due to issues with the laptop’s haptic touchpad and its custom display.
