https://amzn.to/47AJmOg its only gen 3 speeds but still something like this cost an arm and a leg when i bought one for my desktop. And apparently gen 3 is better for battery life anyway.

I am wondering why Framework is overcharging massively for SSD's (and RAM) when configuring laptops on their site?

For example they are asking £229 for a WD SN770 2TB SSD when you can buy it separately for £85 on Amazon!

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.
