Due to the rising prices of memory chips, after smartphones, laptops have also started becoming expensive. Lenovo has announced that it has made its PCs more expensive for some markets. The company has also warned that the shortage of memory chips is not going to be resolved soon and its impact will continue for a long time. This may increase prices as well as affect availability. Let us tell you that companies like Samsung and Xiaomi have also made their smartphones expensive for this reason.
Why did Lenovo increase the prices?
Lenovo says that due to expensive memory chips, the PC business is being adversely affected. Now purchasing memory chips and planning production has become difficult due to price volatility. To protect itself against memory shortages, Lenovo had purchased memory chips and other critical components in advance, so the company had more inventory than others. Due to this, the company’s production continued, but if this shortage continues, this method will also not work for Lenovo. Like Lenovo, Intel’s CEO has also said that the impact of memory shortage will last for a long time and it is not easy to get quick relief in this matter.
Why is there shortage of memory chips?
It would not be wrong if it is said that the prices of smartphones and laptops are increasing due to AI boom. Many companies making memory chips have now started making chips for AI servers and data centers instead of the consumer market. Here the demand for chips is high and the margins of the companies are also big. Therefore, now there is a shortage of chips for consumers. Apart from this, many other components are also becoming expensive, due to which the costs of companies are increasing.
