模块化可维修电脑公司Framework 暂时停止在美国销售其入门级Framework Laptop 13配置（英特尔酷睿Ultra 125H或AMD Ryzen 5 7640U处理器），原因是来自台湾的进口商品面临新的全球关税。该公司表示，10%的关税将迫使他们亏本销售这些特定型号，因为最初的定价是假设关税为0%。价格更高的配置仍然有售。 Framework以其对可维修和可升级设备的承诺而闻名，自2021年以来一直在销售笔记本电脑和组件，最近又推出了16英寸笔记本电脑，并计划推出台式机和更低价的12英寸笔记本电脑。虽然这些较新的产品目前不受影响，但Framework的决定凸显了关税对利润率已经很低的企业的影响。据报道，雷蛇也暂停了其游戏笔记本电脑在美国的销售，这表明对PC市场的影响更为广泛。如果关税持续存在，Framework最终可能会提高价格，但目前看来，该公司正专注于在美国销售价格更高的产品。

Hacker News上关于Framework停止在美国销售笔记本电脑（因关税）的讨论总结如下：讨论主要围绕关税对Framework这家小型笔记本电脑制造商的影响展开。评论者就关税是否会创造美国就业机会展开了辩论，一些人认为这会导致低附加值的工作岗位和生产可能性的萎缩；另一些人则认为自由贸易已经削弱了美国的工业能力。关税的不确定性给像Framework这样的公司在产品规划和定价方面带来的困难是一个关键问题。许多用户指出，Framework的规模使其难以承担关税成本或迅速建立美国本土的制造业。一些人认为Framework的暂停是暂时的，他们正在评估定价策略。讨论还涉及关税背后的政治动机及其对供应链的影响。

Modular, repairable computer maker Framework has announced it’s “temporarily pausing” the sales of some laptops in the United States in response to global tariffs that recently took effect. Specifically, customers in the US can no longer order an entry-level Framework Laptop 13 with an Intel Core Ultra 125H or AMD Ryzen 5 7640U processor. Higher-priced configurations are still available.

In a follow-up social media post, Framework explains that the company “priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss.”

Framework has been selling repairable, upgradeable computers and spare parts since 2021, when the company introduced its first Framework Laptop 13 with 11th-gen Intel Core processor options. Since then Framework has released several upgrades that let you either purchase a whole new computer or buy a new motherboard with newer Intel, AMD, or even RISC-V processors.

The company also expanded its lineup with a 16 inch notebook featuring optional support for a user-replaceable discrete GPU and this year Framework is preparing to ship its first desktop as well as an lower-cost 12 inch laptop that’s the first Framework computer with a touchscreen display, 360-degree hinge, and stylus support.

For now Framework hasn’t announced any changes to those product categories. But it’s one of the first companies to acknowledge that the profit margins on its lowest-cost products were slim enough that it’d be unable to continue selling those devices at the current prices. Framework could theoretically raise prices if tariffs remain in place, but given that the company’s entry-level laptops tend to be a bit more expensive than competing products with similar specifications, I wouldn’t be surprised if Framework decided to only focus on higher-priced configurations for the time being… at least for customers in the United States.

Update: Framework isn’t the only PC maker hitting pause on US sales for now. The Verge reports that Razer is no longer taking orders for its gaming laptops in the US, or pre-orders for the upcoming Razer Blade 16.
