A study from the Consumer Technology Association estimates laptops, video game consoles and smartphones will see significant price hikes under Trump’s plan to tariff all imports.
Donald Trump’s plan to tariff all foreign imports, especially goods from China, is projected to cause PC laptops to increase by an average of $357 in price for US buyers, according to a new study.
The estimate comes from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), a trade group that represents major tech companies, including Apple, HP, and Microsoft, among others. Tom’s Hardware reports that the CTA has published a study that examines how Trump’s proposed tariffs could cause price increases across the electronics industry.
“Buyers of laptops, tablets and smartphones would feel the greatest impact,” the study warned since many of these products are made in China — the chief target of Trump’s tariffs.
