Framework 'held off as long as we could' but just cranked up prices of its Desktops and Mainboards

Framework, our favourite maker of modular laptops, has announced the inevitable. It is ramping up prices for its Desktop and Mainboard offerings. When the company increased prices for laptop memory late last year, it managed not to crank up Desktop and Mainboard prices. But no longer.

In an updated blog post, Framework says that memory prices from its suppliers "continue to increase rapidly". Apparently, 128 Gbit chips have been hit hardest by the price spikes. And it's those chips that go into 128 GB configurations.
