The effects of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on China will soon be felt by US computer shoppers: Acer says it will raise prices of laptops by 10%. Jason Chen, CEO of the Taiwan-based electronics-maker,

It sounds like the price hike may not affect desktops, as Chen told The Telegraph that Acer had moved its desktop computer manufacturing outside China during Trump’s earlier tariffs during his first term. He said Acer might now consider moving some of its laptop manufacturing outside China too, with US manufacturing as “one of the options.”

Taiwanese computer giant Acer has said it will increase costs across the board 10% as a direct result of Trump’s tariffs. The tariffs won’t affect anything that leaves China before the end of February, but as we move into March you can expect the prices on Acer’s laptops, monitors, and other components to rise.

Acer's CEO Jason Chen has announced a 10% price hike on laptops in the US due to tariffs on Chinese-made goods imposed by President Trump.

One reliable brand has just received a price cut on Amazon, meaning you won't need to spend too much of your savings to pick up their best models. The Acer Aspire Go 15 laptop was originally selling for £449.99, however after a 33 per cent price drop, you can get the laptop for only £299.99.

The tariff is paid by US businesses and consumers when goods arrive from China, with companies forced to choose between passing it on to consumers in the form of higher prices, or absorbing the costs and taking a hit to their profit margin
