PC Price Surge Continues Amid Rising Component Costs

Prices in the PC market apparently show no signs of stopping. Known PC assembler PowerGPU has announced yet another round of price increases on their computers. The company associates this with a fresh wave of price hikes for SSDs and other components.

We were just informed that prices for SSD storage devices and other components have risen once more. As a result, what is currently available is the last of the stock at this price. Expect price increases early next week. We appreciate your support and want to remain as transparent as possible.

It’s worth noting that some analysts predict active price growth for SSDs in the near future, while price increases for memory at the retail level have at least recently stabilized on average over the past two weeks.

Market Dynamics and Global Influences

The global economy is currently facing inflation issues that affect numerous sectors, including technology and electronics. Supply chain disruptions, semiconductor shortages, and increased demand for electronics due to remote working have further complicated the situation.

How PC Assemblers Are Responding

In response to these challenges, companies like PowerGPU are being forced to adjust their pricing models. This move, while necessary, impacts consumers who are looking at higher costs not just for pre-built systems but for individual components as well. The pressure is on for other companies in the market to follow suit, leading to a ripple effect through the industry.
