Original: Memory Chip Shortage 2026: PC Prices Up 17%, Gartner Says
Gartner forecasts that an ongoing memory chip shortage will push PC prices up by 17% in 2026. The projected rise reflects tight supply of DRAM and NAND as demand from AI data centers competes with consumer device production. The forecast is drawing attention from PC makers, buyers and enterprise procurement teams weighing when to purchase hardware.
Why now: Gartner's new forecast of a double-digit PC price increase due to memory chip scarcity has direct implications for consumers and businesses planning hardware purchases.
