Framework, a San Francisco-based laptop startup, announced a temporary pause on sales of several models in the US due to tariffs introduced by Donald Trump on imported goods. The tariffs increased costs significantly, forcing Framework to halt sales of models priced at $749 and $799, as selling them at increased prices would mean operating at a loss. The broader implications of these tariffs are concerning for tech manufacturers, although many choose not to disclose their strategies publicly. Known for customizable laptops, Framework's innovative sales model has received positive recognition in major publications.
"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."
"At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss."
"Most manufacturers have not been open about it."
"Framework sells itself on easy, do-it-yourself repairs and upgrades."
