(PR) Rising Memory and CPU Prices Could Push Mainstream Notebook Prices Up by Nearly 40 Percent

What happened

TrendForce forecasts a nearly 40% price increase for mainstream notebooks in 2026 due to tightening DRAM and NAND Flash supply and rising CPU costs. This projection follows a significant surge in component shortages since early 2026. Bullish for traders, as upstream cost pressures are forcing brands to adjust retail pricing.
