Framework Laptop 13 Pro pre-orders get a free SSD upgrade before launch
Framework has announced a welcome upgrade for customers who have already pre-ordered the upcoming Framework Laptop 13 Pro. Before shipments begin, the company is replacing the originally planned PCIe Gen 5 SSD options with the ADATA XPG MARS 970, giving buyers improved storage value without requiring any action on their part.
The change applies automatically to all existing Laptop 13 Pro pre-orders. Customers who selected the 500GB SSD configuration will be upgraded to the 1TB ADATA XPG MARS 970, and they will also benefit from a lower price than the original 500GB option. That means some buyers will receive double the storage while paying less than expected.
The new SSD lineup will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. Framework says the ADATA XPG MARS 970 offers stronger performance, better efficiency, and improved long-term reliability compared with the previous storage choice. For a laptop aimed at productivity users, developers, students, and repair-friendly PC enthusiasts, the storage upgrade makes the Framework Laptop 13 Pro a more compelling option ahead of release.
Because pre-orders have not started shipping yet, the transition should be smooth. Existing customers can expect their order totals to be adjusted automatically, with no need to cancel or place a new order. This makes the upgrade especially appealing for early buyers who locked in a configuration before the storage change was announced.
However, there is one important detail for shoppers who are still deciding. Framework has warned that processor pricing is expected to increase soon, which could raise the total cost of new Laptop 13 Pro orders in the coming weeks. The company is encouraging interested buyers to place a pre-order before any potential price adjustment takes effect.
Pre-orders will remain fully refundable until shipping begins, giving customers flexibility if they change their minds later. For anyone considering the Framework Laptop 13 Pro, the free SSD upgrade and current pricing may make this a strong time to reserve one.
