In case anyone is waiting for a good deal on RAM, AliExpress have started their 11.11 sale today, lasts until 17th. Managed to get a crucial kit 2x32gb DDR5 5600MHz for £155. Ordered a Lexar 4tb gen4x4 2280 for £158 while I was at it.
Ideally I would have waited until framework started shipping my batch (batch 5), but I couldn’t ignore these prices.
N.B. theres no guarantee that these will work in the framework 16, however users have reported these SODIMMs working in the framework 13 7000 series.
