Framework Raises Laptop 13 Pro Prices After LPCAMM2 Memory Costs More Than Doubled
2 articles · Updated · TweakTown · Jul 27
Summary
Framework said LPCAMM2 module costs came in at more than 2x its prior inventory price, forcing updated pre-order pricing for some Laptop 13 Pro memory configurations.
The company said it had expected only a low-to-mid double-digit increase from Q2 to Q3 and can no longer absorb the jump without risking its finances.
Framework still has enough LPCAMM2 inventory to cover existing pre-orders overall, but not the right mix of 64GB, 32GB and 16GB modules; 16GB pricing remains unchanged for now.
New LPCAMM2 prices are still below Framework's current sourcing cost, while its DDR5 chain has cut 48GB module costs even as 16GB DDR5 prices rose.
The update underscores a broader volatile memory-and-storage market that is disrupting pricing and product planning across consumer hardware.
