This one is. The Framework Laptop 13 Pro drew strong marks for performance, build quality, and keyboard, and was marked down on a single dimension — it is expensive, and the review attributes that expense to high RAM prices. That sentence is the cleanest publicly visible evidence to date that high-bandwidth memory wafer allocation has stopped being a datacenter accounting problem and started setting bills of materials on consumer hardware. https://referently.com/apples-chinese-memory-pitch-undermines-the-supply-chain-nvidia-just-paid-500-billion-to-secure/ Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://referently.com/apples-chinese-memory-pitch-undermines-the-supply-chain-nvidia-just-paid-500-billion-to-secure/ I’ve defended Micron against its rivals often enough that I don’t reach for the company’s press office as a source of good faith.
