For PC players, the recent period has been the most difficult period.Ryan McCurdy, president of Lenovo North America, recently issued a public warning, urging channel partners and consumers to lock down hardware immediately, otherwise they will face a more severe market situation.McCurdy said in an interview that if there is a rigid upgrade demand and price sensitivity in the next three to 12 months, now is the window for action.
He revealed that the current inventory in the hands of Lenovo distributors and partners has "the most attractive product pricing in the next 6 to 12 months," suggesting that the price increase wave is far from over.
Another U.S. machine manufacturer claimed that hardware is disappearing from the market at an unprecedented rate, and that supply shortages will be more of a headache than price issues in the long run.
In fact, the tight supply of DRAM is expected to last until at least 2027, and NAND flash memory is also not optimistic. As one of the top three PC giants in the world, Lenovo personally made a speech, which means that the industry down cycle will span multiple quarters.
For ordinary players, 2026 is not an ideal year for installation, but for users who just need it, weighing their budget and making a decisive move may be the best choice before prices get further out of control and inventory is completely exhausted.
