GoKawiilFramework refunds RAM price hikes for some Laptop 13 Pro preorders
Framework has secured a limited supply of Micron 32GB and 64GB LPCAMM2 memory modules at a lower cost than its recent price increase, and is passing the savings to customers. The company is refunding the price difference to buyers who already received laptops at the higher rate and adjusting pricing for pending preorders through Batch 10, with an option to upgrade RAM configurations at the reduced cost. DIY Edition owners can also request a switch to the new pricing.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Memory prices have been climbing industry-wide due to component shortages, making this kind of voluntary refund unusual and notable as a customer-goodwill move. It shows Framework trying to balance transparency and affordability against volatile supply chain costs, though the discount is limited in quantity and may not extend to all future preorder batches.
- Framework got a limited batch of cheaper Micron LPCAMM2 memory modules.
- Refunds and price cuts apply to already-shipped units and preorders through Batch 10.
- Remaining discounted stock will go to other batches and DIY Edition upgrades if available.
Crucial LPCAMM2 32GB DDR5 Memory Module — This is the same Micron-made LPCAMM2 form factor Framework is using in the Laptop 13, and it's the upgradeable memory standard replacing soldered RAM in thin laptops. If you'd rather source your own module than wait on a batch, a Crucial LPCAMM2 stick drops in and can be swapped later as your needs grow.
