Framework is hosting a live launch event called "Next Gen" on April 21, and to pair with this announcement, it has posted a self-described manifesto on the state of the PC market. In it, Framework founder Nirav Patel says, "I built this company specifically to reset and fix a broken industry", and claims that mission has not yet been accomplished.
Patel notes the prices of memory, storage, and silicon going up to unprecedented levels in an "AI-first world in which access to compute is metered by the token". He also states, "there is a very real scenario in which personal computing as we know it is dead."
