So the RAM prices are going to skyrocket again?
2 comments

Of course, everything at the moment regardless of good or bad means higher RAM price.
Have a bad first date? Higher RAM prices.

Your dog ran away? Higher RAM prices.

Lower RAM prices? Believe it or not, higher RAM prices.

You might have the next one hit wonder country song on your hands.

Truck broke? Higher RAM prices.

Wife left you? Higher RAM prices.

RAM truck? Buddy you better get ready. Higher RAM prices.

I tried upgrading to 32 GB of RAM...but the bank offered me a mortgage instead...
I had a stroke of luck this week - I am due a new laptop at work, and ordered a new ThinkPad T14, as they have served me well in the past.

Then IT calls back and says that I shouldn't configure one directly at Lenovo's website, as we are to buy them from a retailer instead.

OK, can do - but they only stock a few models, and the one with the CPU and disk I had configured with Lenovo was only available with 64GB RAM at the retailer. What to do?

'Ouch, that's gonna make accounting hurt. We'll order it for you right away.'

Yes I'm so glad I got a p14s with 64 GB of RAM in the fall
