Recently, the topic of "notebooks priced below 5000 yuan are basically extinct" has sparked widespread discussion. Once upon a time, entry-level models that cost three to four thousand yuan were easy to find, but now they are difficult to find in mainstream channels. The price of popular gaming laptops has even exceeded 5000 yuan in the past six months, making it much more difficult for the average consumer to afford a new computer. Even with subsidies and discounts, the prices of high-end laptops have generally exceeded ten thousand yuan. Many distributors have stated that prices will continue to rise for at least a year and recommend non-essential users to postpone their purchases. From the actual situation in the terminal market, the magnitude and breadth of this price increase far exceed previous ones. According to feedback from distributors, the starting price increase for complete laptops in this round has reached 800 to 1000 yuan, compared to just minor adjustments last year, the prices have skyrocketed this year.
