Brace yourself for PC hardware to get insanely expensive next year
- Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on China could have an impact on the price of PC hardware next year.
- According to some reports, proposed tariffs could be as high as 60% on goods imported from the country.
- PC hardware is largely manufactured in China, and so will be impacted by the tariffs.
- The cost of video game consoles, including the PlayStation 5, could rise by up to 40%.
- Last time tariffs were imposed, companies like Apple and Microsoft were able to secure temporary exclusions.
- PC hardware is complex, with many components produced globally.
- Although tariffs are meant to encourage domestic purchasing, the US has little capacity for PC hardware manufacturing.
- This means it’s unlikely PC hardware companies will be able to pull completely out of China.
- Increased tariffs aren’t in place yet, but early signs suggest that they may be looming.
- It’s possible that the tariffs on PC components could either be lower or completely removed when the time comes.
