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.

Acer Laptop prices in the U.S. are set to rise by 10% from March 2025, commented CEO Jason Chen in an interview with The Telegraph. Chen states that the price hike is a direct result of the Trump administration's incoming tariffs.

By default, from next month Acer boss Jason Chen says that there will be 10 per cent price increase on laptops made in China due to Donald [they are eating the cats] Trump's tariffs. Chen said the US price hike would happen “by default” from next month,

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.”

But it didn’t blink on Chinese tariffs, which are set to come into effect for new goods supplied by China and sold in the US. That means higher prices for companies selling in America, and Acer has decided that it’s the consumer who’ll be paying for it.

The effects of tariffs imposed by president Donald Trump on China will soon be felt by US computer shoppers: Acer says it will raise prices of laptops by 10 percent.

American consumers are in for a rough time as the Trump administration’s trade wars heat up. While many economists have predicted higher prices on most finished goods, individual companies have been hesitant to put numbers on exactly how big their bumps will be.

Acer laptops are getting a price hike in the US come March. In an interview with The Telegraph, Acer's chief executive and chairman Jason Chen announced a 10 percent increased cost for all products due to President Trump's tariffs on China.
