Deal Details
Framework is now selling "Factory Seconds" DIY laptops based on "B"-stock hardware—an Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 build starts at $499. No RAM, HD, WiFi or OS included (bring your own or buy them separately). These builds still include a 1 year warranty and 30 day money-back guarantee.
From Framework:
Factory Seconds laptops are new systems that use excess parts. Rather than scrapping this material, we combine it with new parts, run it through our normal factory tests, and make the resulting laptops available at greatly reduced prices.
Each laptop is pre-packaged with a Framework screwdriver only. Memory, storage, WiFi, Power Adapter, Operating System, and Expansion Cards are not included. You can bring your own or pick them up in the Framework Marketplace.
A-stock units contain a matte display, while B-stock units contain an original display with slight cosmetic issues: fine lines on the surface that are noticeable from certain angle and/or backlight non-uniformity visible from an angle on a white screen (shown in the GIFs). Aside from the display, the A-stock and B-stock systems match the cosmetic specs we use for new laptops.
Available in the US, Canada, and Australia only. Ships within five business days.

Neat concept but seems like it should be $200 max, especially with "B-stock hardware"
While I like the Framework concept, it doesn't make much financial sense at this point. Not to mention the fact that because of the modular design you give up words like sleek or non-bricklike.
I;m seeing a 16" Asus TUF on newegg right now with a 7940HS, 7700S, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Win 11....very similar specs but fully assembled and comes with OS. It's $1,429, well over $600 cheaper. I mean again, I expect a premium for Frameworks design, but well over $600? It just doesnt make sense.
