“Partial workaround” wou’d probably be more accurate. As the article body points out, DDR5 SO-DIMM prices are also up, albeit not as much as DDR5 DIMM prices.

But it’s substantial enough of a price difference to be interesting, especially with larger-capacity SO-DIMMs.

EDIT: For those not familiar, SO-DIMMs are “laptop memory” and DIMMs are “desktop memory”.
