Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs

The good news is it looks like it is only the 13" systems being paused for now. And they likely can get them going again once they figure out the new tariff reqs and get the new prices integrated on the website.

Oh just wait a week, US government policy will probably have changed 16 times by then.

Is anybody going to buy them when the price triples?

  They wouldn’t triple, they could increase by like 10-20% though.

    The tariff on goods from China is more than 100% now. Why do you think the price would only go up by 10-20%?

    When I posted, I was under the impression tariffs were ~35%. Retail tends to be around 50% markup over BOM, so that should mean only a 10-20% price increase to keep the same profit per unit, depending on how much of it is sourced from China.
