RAM price increases may soon make laptops more expensive

RAM prices are set to increase significantly, potentially making laptops and other electronics more expensive. Samsung has confirmed price hikes for DRAM and NAND flash memory starting next month. The cost of LPDDR memory, used in laptops and phones, could rise by 15% to 30%. NAND flash prices are expected to increase by 5% to 10%. These increases follow similar hikes from other manufacturers like Micron and SanDisk, driven by tight supply and reduced production of older memory types.
