Computers have been going up in price for the last year pretty consistently. It is a little at a time but up. Intel shortage is getting worse and I have had meetings with Lenovo, HP, and Acer about supply shortage and they seem to all be pushing amd cpu hard. Let me put it this way we ordered two containers of coolermaster cases last week and usually takes three months to get this gonna take four months at the earliest they said. Lenovo orders about half last month were pushed back thirty days the others half just cancelled due to lack of products. Hp same thing they say push Amd. NAND memory shortage is driving up memory and ssd drives. The virus is making supply chain which was strained worse. All brands of stuff is seeing shortages and yes prices will go up. We are charging more and it will hit stores and online places pretty fast I think. Consumers still get a heck of a box for not much money though considering. But up in price for sure I. A notebook last year that was high 400's is now same specs about 620.00 but now you do get a ssd but otherwise same specs.

Thank you. Seems like it from all you said, but just confirming: apples to apples (e.g. per gigabit or some other metric of storage/peformance), computers are rising in price?
