Framework Laptop 12 Drops to $699 With Intel Core Series 3, DDR5, and Thunderbolt 4

Framework's refreshed 12.2-inch convertible starts at $699 pre-built — $100 below last year's launch price — now with Intel Core Series 3, DDR5 at 6400 MT/s, Wi-Fi 7 R2, and Thunderbolt 4 on rear expansion slots supporting dual 4K 60Hz displays or eGPUs. The $699 base ships with Fedora Linux; Windows 11 Home adds $100. Preorders are open, with October shipments expected.
