The news: Taiwanese PC-maker Acer, which manufactures PCs in China, will raise US laptop prices by 10%, reflecting the Trump administration’s new 10% tariff on Chinese imports.
Acer CEO Jason Chen confirmed that the price hike will be applied across Acer’s lineup of computers, tablets, and servers, potentially adding anywhere between $20 and $380 per device in the coming weeks.
HP, Lenovo, Dell, and others are likely to make similar adjustments, driving up costs for businesses and consumers alike.
