- The Framework computer stops sales of its low level laptops due to prices
- He indicates that he would sell at a loss because he implies that he would prefer to avoid overcoming his products for consumers
- Razer has also apparently suspended sales of lame lame in the United States, probably due to prices
Affordability was a big problem in all areas with regard to PCs and play equipment recently; Nvidia and the AMD third-party GPUs were affected due to inflation, scalping and prices, prices are far above their PDSF. However, a popular manufacturer of laptops has decided to take another path entirely.
On its page X (formerly Twitter), Framework Computer announced that it interrupted the sale of its cheaper laptops and less range in response to Trump’s new tariffs that came into force on April 5. The reasoning is that it would be to “sell to a loss”, which implies that it prefers to avoid invoice consumers more and would end up at the end of the opinion.
Donald Trump’s aggressive prices have indeed forced many companies to take drastic measures, such as Nintendo pumping the brakes on Switch 2 pre-order for American customers; There is a clear uncertainty about the size of an impact on its $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 $ 699.95 at the PDSF.
Back on the laptop market market, it is clear that the frame would prefer to maintain its user -friendly history, preventing customers from spending too much for less powerful equipment while avoiding a major potential financial deficit.
It is not clear if it could possibly apply to its more expensive configurations, using the powerful SOCs of AMD or Intel – like the next framework, for example. But even now, Powerhouse laptops are not immune to the complications related to prices: it seems that Razer has strengthened sales of his lame game labels in America, the official American Razer website showing no blade to sell at the time of the editorial staff.
It may be an even more shocking decision. Razer is a familiar name among PC players, and to completely suspend sales of its most popular laptop range of laptops in the United States – just after the launch of its excellent new Razer Blade 16, no less – is honestly a little wild. Admittedly, you can always recover them from third -party retailers, so it is not a total breakdown, and the current hypothesis is that Razer – as a framework – simply awaits its time until the dust has installed on the current price situation.
I have a strong feeling that it could happen with GPUs soon …
I don’t want to look like a repetitive robot, but the GPU market is in ruins right now. If you are looking to buy one of the most recent GPUs in Nvidia or AMD, one thing is almost certain: you will not find it at the recommended retail price.
It should be noted that the prices inflated on these GPUs were already a serious problem before the new prices – especially for the RTX 5000 range from NVIDIA, which it launched in January. For the most powerful GPU on the market, the RTX 5090, you are considering a price well above its $ 1,999 / £ 1,939 / $ 4,039 at the launch price.
I admit that few PC users really need so much treatment power for games or rendering; However, the same question of sales cessation as a framework has been carried out in the equation now, in particular with the next RTX 5060 TI office of Team Green. It has not been officially announced, but the leaks suggest that the GPU is on the horizon and should be cheaper than its RTX 4060 Ti predecessor.
It is difficult to believe that Nvidia would sell at a loss (because it is literally one of the richest companies in the world), and I wonder if the prices can lead to an increase in the price of its low -end GPUs that at least the AIBs could have to stop sales.
There is still a variety of factors at stake here, especially if the new GPU works well for players: if it does not work well and that the inflation of the partners of the Board of Directors in addition to prices is present, it will probably be a difficult sale for Team Green. It’s just a time before something new and importance shakes the GPU market, and these prices can be the catalyst …
