Framework’s premium laptop is shipping with less RAM


RAMageddon has claimed yet another victim, with Framework now announcing a “major and unfortunate” pricing update for its upcoming premium laptop — which also impacts folks who preordered it. Memory configurations for the Laptop 13 Pro have been adjusted after Framework says it received cost updates from its memory supplier that “are more than double that of the prior inventory.”

While Framework says it has enough LPCAMM2 memory modules on hand to cover all existing preorders, they’re not the right mix of 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB modules to match all preorder configurations. The company is now notifying some customers that the memory configuration (and consequently, price) on their Laptop 13 Pro order has been updated. Framework has apologized for the changes, and is offering cancellations with full deposit refunds for customers who are unhappy with their new configuration.

The available configurations and pricing for new orders on Framework’s website have also been adjusted, now starting at $1,599 for the prebuilt option with an Intel Core Ultra 5 325, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage — $100 more than its initial announcement.

You can read more about the memory and pricing updates in detail on Framework’s blog. It’s been one of the most transparent companies about the impact of the ongoing RAM crisis, but this will understandably be a blow for customers who were excited about their Laptop 13 Pro preorders.
