The relentless surge in memory prices has now cast its shadow over Framework, a laptop manufacturer renowned for its exceptional customizability and user-friendly upgrade options, particularly in the high-end PC gaming sphere. Faced with the uncontrollable escalation of memory costs, Framework has taken the drastic step of promptly removing nearly all individually sold memory kits from its official website. Presently, within the 'Memory & Storage' section, which boasts 21 individual listings for DDR4 and DDR5 memory, a mere two DDR4 models remain in stock. The remaining options, encompassing DDR5 variants and refurbished SO-DIMMs, are conspicuously labeled as 'Coming Soon,' a clear indication of depleted inventory.

Framework has openly acknowledged the dire state of the memory market. While the company has refrained from adjusting its memory pricing at this juncture, it has been compelled to remove standalone memory offerings from its store. This move is aimed at curbing opportunistic scalping practices and ensuring an adequate supply of memory modules for customers purchasing DIY laptop kits. Simultaneously, Framework has cautioned that, owing to escalating supplier costs, a hike in memory prices is an inevitable outcome on the horizon.
