Ideas, hewlett-packard, dale, wahe-suk, magnificent - five major mainstream laptop brands are all priced. It's $100,000 in light, and it's 3800 in the worst. From the chip plant to the terminal, one layer is pushed upwards, and finally all falls on the consumer。
One night, computers cost hundreds
A real story the other day:
A computer quotation issued in the afternoon was cancelled at night by an upstream vendor。
It's not you, it's the price。
This is not an isolated phenomenon. From late april 2026, global mainstream notebook brands were raised collectively, not by a single brand, but by the entire industry。
How much? Look at the data
Feel the increase:
• the original budget of 5,000 for light books? And now you've got enough money for the entrance. It could be 11,800 now
Better configurations had previously been bought at higher prices, and the original configuration could not be bought with more money。
Who's going up? They're going up, all of them
Whip, dale, wah-seok, hong-ho
The full-line model covers light, commercial, game-wide and up。
It's not a brand "jumping" but a whole chain of costs. From the chip plant to the surrogate to the terminal, one layer is pushed upwards, and finally it is thrown all over the consumer。
Why did it go up? One of the two true killers: stock chip stock, cost straight up
You bought a computer to look at the configuration, and you remember the cpu, the graphics, the screens
But memory and hard drive -- i don't think we're looking at it
That's the cost
The supply of dram (ram) and nand (solid hard drive) is severely stretched and the core parts of the notebook are costed directly。
The manufacturer cannot absorb these costs on its own and can only sell them at a higher price。
That's right
You probably didn't think about it。
Ai's been developing too fast these past two years. Intel and amd processors are moving in the direction of ai, requiring particularly high memory bandwidth。
The head storage plant has no choice but to tilt the research and development and production lines significantly towards ai-specific memory。
As a result: storage chips for consumer-grade notebooks have been passively reduced。
You wanted to buy a notebook, but the chips up there were separated by ai。
I'm just trying to figure it out. I'm not trying to rob your notebooks
The trend is already clear. Less
Look at the new brands, it's obvious:
The share of traditional low-priced products continues to shrink. The plant concentrates its resources on high-end business books, creative books, high-performance competitions。
It's not the computers that get expensive, it's the cheap ones that get less and less。
2. Entry of industries into "volume price reduction"
Under the double pressure of high costs and weak consumer demand, global pc market output is expected to decline by the same year in 2026。
The industry is entering the stock game phase of volume down. In short: less, but more expensive。
3. Short-term price reductions are not visible
The shortage of storage chips is a medium- to long-term trend, with no reduction in the short term。
That is to say, now that we're buying computers, the price is not going to fall, but it's only possible to keep going up。
What about people who want to change computers these days? Buy on demand. Don't wait
It doesn't make sense. Price trends are upwards. Buy them when you're ready, probably more expensive。
Get 618
This could be the last power company to have a big discount this year. In the future, the rate probably continues to rise。
Focus on official renovation channels
This channel is ignored by many, but the value for money is real. And the quality of the official renovation is guaranteed, not the kind of "second-hand" with unknown paths。
Tell me the truth
What we used to buy on computers was the "cpu picks" "no rtx."。
Now, look at the cpu card, the price goes up first。
Computers in 2026 are slowly turning from consumer electronics to light luxury. This trend, whether it wishes to accept it or not, has already begun。
It's not us. It's the market。
