But isn’t this an American company?
Yes, but the products are manufactured and assbled in Taiwan and shipped to local warehouses across the world. They can easily decide to make, ship and sell the product across the globe but in the us. The ceo explained that they forsaw things like this when they started in 2019/2020 and therefore decided, back then, that they would take on this model to not fuck themselves incase trump would go haywire back then.
That has now saved their arses tbh
The laptops are manufactured in Taiwan. There’s so much unpredictability in the tariffs so they’re delaying until it settles down. Tariffs are going to impact US companies and US residents.
Yes it is?
Personally I‘d give these guys a pass tbh.
O yes I don’t mean anything by it, just that it makes it extra weird you can pre-order anywhere but their home country
That’s what happens when you make it expensive to import anything and don’t have any domestic manufacturing for computer components.

Yes. This is the technology community, not the buy European one.
Framework is pushing laptops in the right direction.

I didn’t mean it as a boycott us comment, I am surprised you can pre-order it anywhere but in their own country is all. Also understand why, don’t need an explanation.
