Highly customizable and upgradable laptop manufacturer Framework announced that it’s hiking the prices of memory modules, this just one month after it had to increase RAM pricing by 50% and stop selling standalone kits to avoid scalpers. The firm also expects another price increase within the next month.
According to the company's blog, it’s increasing prices due to “extreme memory shortages and price volatility.” However, it promises to price these items as close as possible to the acquisition cost from its suppliers and distributors. Framework says that memory prices currently sit at around $10/GB for 32GB modules and smaller, while 48GB modules cost around $13/GB. The company also warns that storage price hikes are likely coming soon, too.
