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.”

Acer's CEO also warns that some companies might use Trump's tariffs on China as an excuse to raise product prices beyond 10%.

Starting in March, Acer laptops will see a 10 percent price hike in direct response to President Trump's tariffs. The announcement came from Acer's CEO Jason Chen in an interview with The Telegraph. The move is coming because of a 10-percent tariff that Trump has imposed on laptops manufactured in China.
