Lenovo alerts partners to looming price hikes on consumer and server products — soaring memory costs drive the surge

Lenovo has informed partners about impending price increases on certain PC and server configurations in March due to a shortage of DRAM and 3D NAND memory, driving up costs. The warning affects products within Lenovo's commercial IDG lineup, including smartphones and high-end ThinkPad laptops. Partners were instructed to place orders by February 25 to maintain current prices, subject to availability and shipment timing. On the server side, ISG has adjusted quote validity periods and repriced select deals due to cost hikes. The industry-wide memory shortages and price surges, influenced by AI sector demand, have led to pricing adjustments by major tech companies like Lenovo, Cisco, and HPE.
