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.”

Acer CEO and Chairman, Jason Chen, announced a 10% price increase on its laptops sold in the US. This comes as an answer to US President Trump's 10% tariff on Chinese goods.
