Framework Raises RAM and Storage Prices Again Amid Ongoing Shortages
For the fourth month in a row, Framework is increasing prices on RAM and storage for its modular PCs due to ongoing shortages from suppliers. An update to Framework's blog on Tuesday states that DDR5 RAM will now cost $13 to $18 per GB, up from February's rate of $12 to $16 per GB. This price hike is the latest in a series of increases, with Framework citing supply chain issues as the primary cause.
The company's modular PCs have become increasingly popular among consumers and businesses alike, offering a unique blend of customization and upgradeability. However, the ongoing shortages have made it difficult for Framework to maintain its pricing strategy, leading to a series of price hikes.
The latest price increase is not the only challenge facing Framework. The company has also faced criticism for its handling of customer support, with some users reporting long wait times and unhelpful responses.
Despite these challenges, Framework remains committed to its modular PC vision. The company has continued to innovate and expand its product lineup, offering a range of options for consumers and businesses.
As the tech industry continues to grapple with supply chain issues, Framework's price hike serves as a reminder of the challenges facing manufacturers. With the ongoing shortages showing no signs of abating, it remains to be seen how Framework and other companies will adapt to the changing landscape.
