Well yeah because getting charged a bunch of money means I'm getting my laptop I've waited months for in my hands in the next few days.

Is that even compatible with the framework? I thought it could only be the 5600 mt.

Currently, I still think it is the programs that have to catch up and get updated. Ram speeds have doubled but the speeds are not being utilized by most programs. At least thats what I've heard.

Hey! Thats actually cheap. Apple invented storage max pro lite form factor that dunks on m.2

No no no this is trash m.2 Storage very slow and very inefficient apple uses i-storage the most state-of-the-art computer hardware ever. They're generous to even give us the opportunity to use it.

Ahh that makes sense now thanks for explaining!

Most laptop manufacturers overcharge on RAM and storage as it's one of the main places they actually make a profit. Framework is not immune to this and does it too. But if the prices bother you guess what! Its framework so you can just buy whatever you want. I think of the overcharge as kinda a donation to Framework.

Oh, i wasn't aware the 16-inch has one of the tiny slots. Does the expansion bay thing on the back have more m.2 expansion?

I don't really think that's coming up that soon the m.2 form factor still has room to grow. Most likely gen 5 will just become more affordable.

Yeah, I'm considering getting it for my desktop that only has 1 TB of storage. I already bought a 990 pro 2 TB for my framework

Yup that's the kit I bought. I wonder why only crucial prices are going down and not the other competitors.

You're right I check it and it is. I'm not sure why OP was looking at those.
