Framework pauses U.S. sales of base Laptop 13 models due to tariffs — company says other vendors are pausing sales too, but not making announcements

Framework Laptop 13.

Modular laptop and desktop manufacturer Framework announced that it is pausing the sales of its most affordable Framework Laptop 13 models in the U.S. because of tariffs. According to the company’s X (formerly Twitter) post, models powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U processors will be temporarily removed from its U.S. site. Framework said that its pricing is based on the previous 0% tariff on Taiwanese imports — the new 10% tax that Trump imposed means it would have to sell its lowest-end laptops at a loss.

Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we’re temporarily pausing US sales on a few base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U). For now, these models will be removed from our US site. We will continue to provide updates as we have them.April 7, 2025
