Framework has announced yet another price adjustment for components, including RAM, storage, and overall silicon costs, due to the ongoing global memory crisis. In its latest monthly update, the company said that while this period showed some signs of stability, customers should be prepared for a further increase in pricing and volatility throughout the remainder of 2026.
For its DIY Edition laptops, DDR5 memory pricing remains largely unchanged at $13 to $18 per GB, depending on the capacity. However, pricing for SSDs is beginning to witness a shift due to the depletion of existing SSD inventory that was purchased at a lower cost. The company has already adjusted pricing for higher-capacity drives, such as the 4TB WD Black SN850X, and has advised customers with high-capacity storage requirements to consider making their purchase soon while older inventory remains available at a nominal value.
