Title: Acer To Raise US Laptop Prices 10% After Tariffs

Link: https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/25/02/18/...

Acer will raise laptop prices in the United States by 10% next month due to
Trump administration tariffs on Chinese imports, CEO Jason Chen said. "We
will have to adjust the end user price to reflect the tariff," Chen said. "We
think 10 percent probably will be the default price increase because of the
import tax." The Taiwan-based company, the fifth-largest computer seller in
the U.S. market behind HP, Dell, Lenovo and Apple, could add hundreds of
dollars to its high-end laptops that cost up to $3,700. Chen said Acer is
exploring manufacturing options outside China, including possible U.S.
production. The company has already moved desktop computer assembly out of
China following earlier 25% tariffs during Trump's first term. The 10% tariff
imposed this month affects nearly 80% of U.S. laptop imports from China.
