The 128GB model is now almost $500 more expensive, offering a scary preview of how the memory shortage threatens to affect the PC market this year.
Upgradable PC maker Framework says it’s been forced to raise prices for its desktop model, which it blames on the ongoing memory shortage.
“ We held off on it for as long as we could, but we had to update our Framework Desktop pricing today to account for the massive increase in LPDDR5x pricing from our suppliers,” the San Francisco company tweeted on Monday.
In some good news, the price increase for the base model is relatively minor. The Framework Desktop originally started at $1,099 for 32GB of RAM; the same configuration now costs $1,139.
The 64GB model will also only get a $40 price increase, bringing it $1,639.
