Framework raises DDR5 RAM upgrade prices by 50% amid DRAM shortage — only for Laptop DIY edition, says prices will likely rise again
Framework has increased DDR5 RAM upgrade prices by up to 50% for its Laptop DIY Edition due to the ongoing DRAM shortage and rising costs from suppliers. The price hike only affects DDR5 SO-DIMM configurations on the DIY Edition, with existing pre-orders maintaining original pricing. Despite the increase, Framework's prices are competitive with market rates. The company warns of potential future price adjustments for all products using memory. Framework aims to cover costs rather than exploit market conditions and has taken measures to prevent scalping of its memory modules.
