  It doesn’t need to have anything to do with SSDs. The point is there is a hardware shortage of something that most computers have and laptop manufactures can use that as an excuse to raise prices. Also just because most laptops come with M.2 SSDs doesn’t mean all of them would. There may be some that use 2.5" HDDs.
