The announcement came from Acer’s CEO Jason Chen in an interview withThe Telegraph.
The move is coming because of a 10-percent tariff that Trump has imposed on laptops manufactured in China.

Beyond that, nearly 80% of laptops imported to the US are made in China.

Nearly 80% of laptops imported to the US are made in China.
As the tariffs start to come online, we will likely begin to see more companies announcing price increases.
