  • Affected models include Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U versions of the Framework Laptop 13.
  • The company cites the need to avoid selling low-end SKUs at a loss with a 10% tariff.
  • Pre-built versions of affected laptops were priced at $999 and $899, now starting at $1,399 and $1,499.
  • Nintendo also paused US preorders for its Switch 2 console following the tariff announcement.
