Framework Retroactively Lowers LPCAMM2 Prices Amid Memory Crisis

The ongoing memory supply turmoil has brought a steady stream of price hikes, making any relief a welcome development. Framework has now delivered just such a win, revealing a retroactive reduction in the cost of its LPCAMM2 memory modules.

“We have a positive update today on LPCAMM2 pricing!” the company posted on X. “We were able to source a limited quantity at lower cost, and are retroactively reducing prices for orders that shipped at higher price, as well as offering the lower price to orders through Batch 10.” In a follow‑up blog, Framework explained that it secured a limited supply of Micron 32 GB and 64 GB LPCAMM2 modules at a reduced cost. The firm emphasized its commitment to passing savings on to customers, noting that the new pricing applies to both already shipped units and a subset of pending pre‑orders.

The modules previously faced a steep increase in July, when Framework reported that its supplier’s memory prices were “more than double” the earlier shipment cost. While the latest lower‑cost batch remains “above our original pre‑order launch baseline,” the company says it is still cheaper than the last cost update that drove current pre‑order pricing.

Customers who have already received their DIY Edition Framework Laptop 13 Pro can request a switch to the 32 GB or 64 GB module at the new reduced price via a contact form. For those who have not yet taken delivery, the reduced rates are available on a first‑come, first‑serve basis through Batch 10. If additional inventory becomes available, Framework plans to extend the offer to later batches and new pre‑orders.

The approach mirrors the tariff‑refund situation with Panic’s Playdate handheld, where buyers who paid higher prices due to U.S. tariffs received refunds. Framework’s actions suggest a broader philosophy that savings on component costs should be returned to the end user rather than retained.

For anyone eyeing an upgrade, the limited‑quantity nature of the price cut means acting quickly may be necessary to secure the lower cost before stock runs out.
