Prices for both RAM and M.2 SSDs are skyrocketing due to shortages caused by the rush to build AI data centers, which might affect the ability of PC companies to beat their own prices from just a couple of months ago...but I have a solution of my own: A collab Black Friday PC with Alexander PCs!
Note: I only discuss RAM pricing in the video, but SSD prices are following close behind.
