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

Framework Laptop 16.

Earlier this week, Dell was wrongly flagged for charging even more than Apple for memory upgrades in their laptops, which later turned out to be a misinformed call; nevertheless, Framework was quick to pounce on the opportunity and call out fellow vendors, while warning its own RAM price hikes to follow soon.

We are going to need to increase our memory pricing soon, but we won’t use this as an excuse to gouge customers like @Dell apparently has and that @Apple does as their norm.December 9, 2025
