Are you anticipating your Framework Laptop 13 Pro? You'll need to wait a little longer.

      Good news: the bugs have been identified. Bad news: your laptop's delivery is delayed.

      If you pre-ordered the Framework Laptop 13 Pro expecting it in June or July, unfortunately, I have disappointing news. Framework has communicated with customers via email, informing them that shipping has been delayed by approximately one month.

      As stated in an email shared by a Reddit user, initial shipments that were set for late June are now pushed to late July, with some deliveries potentially slipping into early August. Framework aims to get back on track with its original timeline by August, although the company acknowledges that the final batches in August carry a risk of being pushed to early September.

      The Framework 13 Pro is one of the most awaited laptops for 2026, and this delay will likely frustrate those who have placed pre-orders. However, it seems the delay is for valid reasons.

      Why is the Framework Laptop 13 Pro delayed?

      According to the email, as Framework was gearing up for mass production, it uncovered two issues: one related to the new haptic touchpad and the other involving the custom display.

      The touchpad issue is more significant. During testing, Framework discovered a rare bug that caused the touchpad to reset after multiple clicks. The problem was traced back to an electrical grounding issue in the PCB design, prompting the creation of a new PCB to resolve it. Although Framework attempted a firmware fix on the original design, units continued to fail, so the company is now waiting for the new PCBs, which are expected to arrive at its assembly factory in mid-July.

      The display issue was less complex. One unit's panel failed to initialize, and the supplier identified it as an edge case in the initialization parameters. A firmware update has resolved this, and the revised panels will not cause any further delays in laptop shipments. However, if you pre-ordered the new display separately, this shipment will be delayed by a month.

      What if you don’t want to wait?

      If the new schedule doesn't suit you, Framework assures that your pre-order deposit is fully refundable. Nonetheless, a month's delay isn't overly long, and it's likely that the majority of customers will choose not to cancel their pre-orders.

      While delays are never ideal, I would prefer to have a reliable touchpad over a speedy shipment. Let's hope Framework adheres to its revised schedule.

      Your Windows 11 PC can now run AI workloads natively, even if it doesn't have the Copilot+ designation.

      For the past year, Microsoft has been suggesting that the future of AI on Windows is tied to Copilot+ PCs. To access Microsoft's most advanced local AI features, one needed a machine with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). However, it seems Microsoft is changing the game.

      According to new documentation, Windows 11's local Language Model APIs can now function on non-Copilot+ PCs, as long as they are equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series GPU (or newer) and at least 6GB of VRAM. At first glance, this appears to be a developer-centric update, but it could represent a major shift in Microsoft's AI PC strategy since the introduction of Copilot+ PCs last year. More importantly, it raises an ongoing question: Did we truly need NPUs for this technology from the beginning?

      The Windows 11 June update enhances the speed of your Start menu and Search.

      The Low Latency Profile is the first specific fix Microsoft has implemented to address shell responsiveness, and the June update extends it to all eligible PCs, not just Insider preview testers.

      If you’ve ever clicked the Start button and noticed a one to two second delay before the menu appears, you’re familiar with the issue that Microsoft aimed to resolve with its June 2026 Windows 11 update. The update (KB5094126) was released on June 9, 2026, for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, targeting shell responsiveness problems that have quietly annoyed users since the operating system's debut in 2021. The main change is the wide deployment of the Low Latency Profile.
