The ongoing component shortages, particularly in RAM, are significantly driving up prices for new tech hardware, including computers and tablets. Consumers looking to purchase these devices are experiencing substantial sticker shock this week.
With multiple companies announcing price hikes, the outlook for more affordable options appears bleak in the near future.
