If you are thinking of buying a Dell laptop or PC, then this news is important for you. According to reports, Dell is going to make a big increase in the prices of its commercial laptops and desktop PCs from next week i.e. 17th December. The biggest reason for this is said to be the lack of global memory and storage chips.
According to the information, this price increase will be especially applicable on those Dell systems in which more RAM and more storage are provided. This means that laptops and desktops with high-end configuration may be more expensive than before.
Actually, there is a huge shortage of DRAM and NAND chips all over the world at present. The reason for this is the increasing demand for AI servers and high-performance computing. Big tech companies are buying large amounts of memory and storage for AI infrastructure, making components expensive for PC makers. Its impact is not only on Dell but also on other brands like Lenovo and HP.
According to the report, the prices of Dell systems with 32GB RAM may increase by 130 to 230 dollars. At the same time, high-end models with 128GB RAM can be expensive by 520 to 765 dollars.
A Dell sales employee said that depending on the contract, customers may have to pay 10 to 30% more.
The price of these systems will also increase
Not only this, there may also be an increase in the prices of systems with Nvidia’s new Blackwell GPU and some monitors. Tariffs, expensive components and shrinking IT budgets are already making it difficult for companies to purchase new systems, and now this price increase could make the problem worse.
Dell has clarified on this and said that the company changes prices when necessary to maintain supply and give better value to customers. However, this time may prove challenging for customers in terms of shopping. If you are thinking of buying a new Dell laptop or PC, it may be beneficial to take the decision before the price increases.
