Framework just announced another price increase for the memory modules it sells. This is the second hike in roughly two weeks, driven by rising costs from its suppliers. The company stated it is absorbing a significant portion of the increased expense to keep final prices lower. They did not give a specific percentage for the new increase, but their current weighted average cost for inventory is around ten dollars per gigabyte. Prices on their configurator have already gone up, with an eight-gigabyte DDR5 module now costing eighty dollars instead of sixty.
The laptop maker expects prices to keep climbing into early 2026 based on supplier forecasts. This could push that same eight-gigabyte stick over one hundred dollars soon. Framework compared its pricing to Apple's, noting it still charges far less than Apple's rate of twenty-five dollars per gigabyte. The adjustment currently only affects the Laptop DIY edition. The Desktop DIY edition memory prices have not changed. For customers wanting alternatives, Framework now provides a link to a third-party part finder website so users can source their own compatible memory.
