Lenovo raises PC and laptop prices again as memory costs climb

Lenovo is preparing another round of price increases for its PCs and laptops, with some popular models set to rise by more than 1,000 yuan, or about $150. The change is expected to take effect in July, and it would mark the company’s second price hike this year as higher RAM and SSD costs continue to squeeze hardware makers.

According to Sina, Lenovo has already informed partners and distributors about the coming adjustment. That detail matters because price changes at this stage usually ripple through channel inventory fast: once a major OEM nudges list prices, retail promotions tend to get less generous, not more.

Which Lenovo PCs and laptops are getting more expensive

The report does not name every affected model, but says the increases will hit some of Lenovo’s more popular machines. In other words, this is not a niche accessory problem; it looks like a broad pricing reset across the company’s PC and notebook lineup.

• Some models: more than 1,000 yuan higher
• Approximate increase: about $150
• Timing: July
• This year: Lenovo’s second price increase in 2026

Memory and SSD prices are doing the damage

The immediate culprit is the same one pressing on much of the PC industry: rising component costs, especially for RAM and storage. ASUS, Framework, Maingear, and several other vendors have already moved prices up, which suggests Lenovo is reacting to the same supply-side pressure rather than trying to test consumer patience for sport.

For buyers, that usually means the cheapest configurations get less attractive first, while midrange and business models absorb the pain more quietly. Lenovo’s move also hints that the memory price cycle is still hurting final device pricing, even after years in which PC makers tried to keep hardware costs stable with aggressive discounts and thinner margins.

What shoppers should expect in July

If you are shopping for a Lenovo machine now, the sensible move is obvious: don’t assume the same configuration will cost the same next month. The more interesting question is whether other major PC brands follow Lenovo again, or whether the market finally starts pushing back with smaller base specs and fewer upgrades bundled into the sticker price.
