Notebook computer prices will increase

The first alliance of laptop manufacturers including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Lenovo and Acer has just agreed to raise prices for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Estimated prices of notebooks will increase by about $ 5 to $ 20 depending on the type and supplier. However, market researchers believe that the alliance will resolve orders to various manufacturers to reduce price pressure. The move will help firms like Foxconn Electronics and Flextronics have more opportunities to take orders.

According to the Apply Daily newspaper (China), so far, only Dell is still negotiating with OME firms to maintain the old price but the possibility of this company to raise prices is also quite high.

In addition to notebooks, PC computer manufacturers are also negotiating to raise prices for some components such as motherboards . in the face of rising fuel and labor costs in China.
