Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices By 50% For DIY Laptops

Written by Michael Larabel in Hardware on 12 December 2025 at 06:41 AM EST. 72 Comments
Framework Computer had worked to keep their memory prices lower than other laptop vendors amid the ongoing memory shortages throughput the industry worldwide. But today they've finally had to cave in and increase their DDR5 memory modules for the Framework Laptop DIY Editions by 50%.

Due to the ongoing price hikes around system memory with shortages throughout the supply chain, Framework raised their DDR5 memory options today by 50% for the Framework Laptop DIY Edition. Framework Computer is keeping the prior prices for existing pre-orders and also is foregoing any price changes for their pre-built laptops or the Framework Desktop. Framework Computer also lets you order DIY laptops without any memory at all if so desired for re-using existing modules or should you score a deal elsewhere.

Due to their memory pricing said to be more competitive below market rates, they also adjusted their return policy to prevent scalpers from purchasing DIY Edition laptops with memory while then returning just the laptops. The DDR5 must be returned now with DIY laptop order returns.

More details on Framework Computer needing to begin raising system memory prices can be found via the Framework Blog.
