■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Framework has postponed shipments of its Laptop 13 Pro flagship by approximately one month to address hardware issues. The 13-inch model, originally scheduled to launch in June, will now begin shipping in July.

Framework notified preorder customers of the delay via email, citing problems with the haptic touchpad and display discovered during production preparation. First-batch shipments now target July, with some units potentially delayed into early August. Customers outside the initial batch face pushed timelines from July to August, with select orders arriving as late as early September. The delay affects Framework's refresh of its popular 13-inch laptop line. The company has not announced specific details about the hardware issues or provided alternative solutions. Framework customers remain on notification status for updated shipping dates. The Laptop 13 Pro represents a significant product refresh for the modular laptop maker, featuring upgrades to its customizable modular design that has defined the Framework lineup.
