Framework puts Dell and Apple on blast over egregious RAM prices — modular laptop maker will be forced to increase memory prices, but won't "gouge customers" like other vendors

Dell and Apple were mistakenly criticized for high RAM prices, with Dell's apparent $550 upgrade cost actually being $150. Framework seized the opportunity to call out other vendors for overcharging on memory upgrades, declaring its own upcoming price hikes but promising not to exploit customers. The confusion stemmed from Dell's configurator system, where upgrades triggered other changes that weren't clearly communicated. Despite the initial misinformation, Framework emphasized its commitment to fair pricing compared to competitors like Dell and Apple.
