Buying components separately, saving money? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Has anyone bought some of the components (e.g. a hard drive or RAM) somewhere else instead of buying the full laptop from the frame.work website?

Was is worth it?

Looks like an easy possibility to save a few hundred dollars/euros...

Just curious...

Yeah got the framework 13 AMD end of last year. Bought the ram separately (crucial) and used an NVME I had lying around. The RAM was cheaper this way.

I did the same for the AMD 13 I bought 2 weeks ago. Saved about 140 USD on both the 32GB ram (Crucial DDR5-5600) and the 1TB ssd (SN850X)
