I'm happy to answer any questions around this! We've been working on this since update since we launched the product last year, so we're excited to be able to share it today.

Do you have any preliminary specs on how battery life differs between these and the 11th gen equivalents?

In use battery life is largely the same, though Intel has added some additional features with 12th Gen Intel Core that can improve in-use power consumption in some scenarios. The main optimizations we were able to land were in standby power consumption. For Windows users, this means longer Modern Standby before going into Hibernate. For Linux, more importantly since hibernate is atypical, it means being able to leave your laptop unplugged for much longer when not in use.

Looks like 12th gen DIY edition is €60 more than the MSRP of the old model. Wonder if the price will come down further for the old model. EDIT: site was down while I was checking this, the 11th Gen DIY edition is €829, so €130 cheaper than 12th gen.

We announced newly reduced pricing for the original 11th Gen Intel Core-based Framework Laptops. We've sold out of some SKUs and have limited numbers of the remaining ones, so that new reduced pricing is likely the final pricing until we run out of those.

Interesting! I was looking at picking one up with my next pay check, so I’ll see what’s available. Thanks!

Better standby performance is great news, as I know it's not all Framework's fault for the inconsistent standby power drain on the current models.

I know this gets asked a lot and isn't really about this new upgraded model but..

Any news on plans for AMD models?
