- Comment on Trump tariffs result in 10% laptop price hike in U.S. says Acer CEO 3 days ago:
Laptops aren’t funko pops, no one’s buying extra cause they want to get one in every color. People buy them out of necessity. So no this isn’t gonna discourage anything, maybe it’ll get people to try and repair their older laptops, but because of corporate greed, most modern laptops aren’t designed for repair ability, rather they go out of their way to make it harder to repair, and they don’t release sufficient schematics and spare parts needed for repair, not to mention there are only so many technicians or tech savvy people with the know how to repair them.
