XMG and Schenker Laptop Prices to Rise as Memory Costs Increase
The company that manufactures “XMG” gaming laptops and “Schenker” workstations has announced that DDR5 RAM has risen sharply in price. The price of these memory modules, which help laptops run applications simultaneously, has increased 6 times since July 2025. The company expects the shortage to continue in 2027 and beyond.
Most gaming laptops will become 113 dollars (approximately 190 manats), or 100 euros (approximately 190 manats), more expensive. For some models, the price increase will reach 228 dollars (approximately 390 manats), or 200 euros (approximately 390 manats). One professional laptop will become 342 dollars (approximately 580 manats), or 300 euros (approximately 580 manats), more expensive. The change will affect most of the company’s models. The price increases are not limited to laptop memory. RAM prices for desktop computers have also risen by approximately 500% over the past 12 months. SSD storage, processors, graphics cards, video memory, electronic components and printed circuit boards have also become more expensive. The war in the Middle East has increased fuel and air freight costs. Insuring cargo passing through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal also costs more.
“XMG” says it has not increased its profit margin and that the price increase is solely due to supply costs. The company said it would lower the retail prices of its laptops again if the components it purchases become cheaper. “Framework” reduced memory prices for the “Laptop 13 Pro” model after finding another supplier of more affordable LPCAMM2 memory. Opinions differ on the future of the memory market. “Micron” CEO Sanjay Mehrotra believes the DRAM shortage will continue throughout 2027. “Asus” CEO Jason Chen expects components to start becoming cheaper in the 2nd half of that year. In his view, increased memory production by Chinese companies will boost the supply of products on the market. Buyers’ unwillingness to accept high prices could also slow the price increases.
