Acer laptops will experience a significant price hike in the US, starting March, with a projected 10% increase due to tariffs imposed by President Trump on China. Jason Chen, Acer's CEO, linked the increased costs to the tariffs affecting about 80% of laptop imports. The most impacted models, such as the high-end 17-inch Predator Triton gaming laptop, may rise to over $4,178. Chen also indicated Acer's potential strategy to shift some manufacturing operations away from China to mitigate these tariff impacts.
Acer's chief executive announced a 10% price increase on laptops due to Trump's tariffs on China, marking a direct impact of import taxes.
"We will have to adjust the end user price to reflect the tariff," Chen stated. "It's very straightforward," highlighting the immediate effects of tariffs.
Trump's tariffs, affecting around 80% of laptop imports, may lead to price hikes despite prior assurances that consumer costs would remain stable.
Acer is contemplating moving some of its manufacturing to other countries, including the US, as a potential response to the tariffs.
