Lenovo recently issued a price increase notice to its channel partners, with the retail prices of some computer products rising by over 1,000 yuan ($140). This adjustment mainly targets offline store networks and involves mid-to-high-end models across the ThinkPad, IdeaPad, and Legion series. The price hike is mainly driven by a surge in global memory chip prices, with DRAM and NAND flash prices reaching their highest levels since 2016. The spike in AI computing demand has led to tight chip supply, and cost pressures are expected to persist over the next three to four quarters. However, student purchase subsidy programs remain unaffected, so prices for student buyers will stay stable. [Icsmart, in Chinese]
