Acer has announced plans to increase laptop prices in the US, attributing the hike to new import tariffs on Chinese-made goods set by the Trump administration. CEO Jason Chen stated that a typical price increase of around 10% is expected as they adjust for the additional costs imposed by these tariffs. This increase applies to laptops imported after the tariff implementation date but not to existing stock. Other companies, such as CDW, may follow suit with similar price hikes, indicating broader industry impact.
"We will have to adjust the end user price to reflect the tariff. We think 10 percent probably will be the default price increase because of the import tax. It's very straightforward."
"It's not just Acer planning to raise prices - though it's the only vendor so far to publicly confirm passing the cost of Trump's tariffs onto consumers."
