Lenovo Hikes PC Prices, Warns No Immediate Relief Amid Memory Crunch

• Lenovo has begun raising PC prices in select markets due to rising memory costs and limited supply.
• Shortages of DRAM and NAND are making it difficult to plan production and maintain stable pricing, with uncertainty passed to buyers.
• Intel's CEO also indicated the memory crunch is unlikely to ease soon, suggesting higher PC prices may persist.
• Chipmakers are prioritizing AI servers and data centers, diverting memory supply from standard PCs.
• Lenovo is stockpiling components, but this is not a long-term solution if shortages continue through 2026; SSD prices may also rise.
