Framework Laptop: The Exciting Choice Hindered by Logistics.
TL;DR
The CEO of Framework Laptop responded to a customer's inquiry about why the company wouldn't sell him a 61Wh battery unless he bought more components than he needed. The CEO explained that the company kept the 55Wh battery in the base configurations to keep the price low and because their cell supplier had a substantial amount of material prepared for it. The company focuses on keeping the assembled SKUs as few as possible while enabling configuration on items that are not pre-assembled. The end user assembly process for the DIY Edition involves installing memory, storage, operating system, and now also bezel and input cover.
