Framework predicts the end of modern PCs.
Framework announced a presentation on April 21 and released a manifesto
The company Framework plans to hold an official presentation on April 21. In anticipation of the event it issued a manifesto describing the current state of the personal computer market.
> “I founded this company specifically to reboot and fix a broken industry,” said founder Nirav Patel. He emphasized that he has not yet achieved his goal.
Key points of the manifesto
1. Rapid price increases
The cost of memory, storage, and processors has reached unprecedented levels worldwide. This is happening in an era where artificial intelligence is becoming a priority, and access to computing resources is measured in tokens.
2. Threat of PC “death”
Patel believes a scenario is possible in which traditional personal computers disappear. More investment is directed toward cloud solutions, while PC hardware becomes increasingly expensive.
3. Loss of desire to own
People without significant means are losing interest in owning their own equipment: “The industry urges you to have nothing and be happy.” Computers stop being “bicycles for the mind” and become autopilot machines that take users straight to their destination.
What will be at the presentation?
The exact program is still unknown. However, Patel’s statements have already attracted public attention. The company promised to reveal event details on its YouTube channel and share information with the community.
Framework’s philosophy
Framework aims to release computers that “you can own at the deepest level and do whatever you want with them.” Currently the manufacturer faces a memory shortage, which sometimes forces it to raise prices. According to company representatives, the current price stabilization is only a temporary respite.
Thus, Framework is preparing an event for April 21 that could change perceptions of personal computers and their role in the digital world.
