Lenovo: new PC this year will rise, scarcity of computer parts-Lenovo PC-IT information
The decline of the traditional PC industry has not changed, yet more bad news is coming, that PC prices will become higher and higher. Lenovo, the world's largest PC maker, recently said Gianfranco Lanci, President and Chief Operating Officer, is expected in the next few quarters, the price will continue to rise, mainly because of component shortages caused. The Lenovo executives said, storage, batteries, display device and component supply is limited, especially in DRAM demand, high low prices will lead to higher PC prices, no matter what the shape of PC prices in the short term, including desktop desktops, notebooks, and 2-in-1 device type.
Of course, PC prices rising there is another equally important reason, is that fewer and fewer buyers for the PC. The PC industry has been experiencing falling sales the past few years, trend remains unchanged for the next several quarters. Due to weak demand, manufacturers to keep their profit margins, had to raise PC prices.
Recent IDC reports indicate that worldwide PC sales fell 1.5% in 2016, fourth quarter, only 70.2 million. Gartner analysts, along with falling global PC shipments, then manufacturers will focus on the high-end high-priced PC in order to get higher profits, but cheap PC will not go away, but PC manufacturers are not considered to have high appeal.
It is not clear how much is the average PC prices will, as well as how long the price will last, but the spring of 2017 computer prices began rising steadily.
联想：今年新款PC都会涨价，电脑零件稀缺 - 联想PC - IT资讯
传统PC行业的颓势没有改变，然而现在更糟糕的消息来了，那就是电脑的价格会变得越来越高。世界最大的PC制造商联想，最近其总裁兼首席运营官Gianfranco Lanci表示，预计未来几个季度里，电脑的价格将会持续上涨，主要是因为组件供应短缺而造成。该联想高管称，储存、电池、显示器件等组件供应量有限，尤其是DRAM供不应求，量少价高，将导致PC价格上涨，短期内无论何种外形的PC都会涨价，包括桌面台式机、笔记本电脑和2合1类型的设备。
当然了，PC售价上涨还有另一个同样关键的原因，那就是买家购买的PC越来越少了。整个PC行业过去几年一直经历销量下跌，接下来几个季度的趋势不变。由于需求疲软，厂商为了保住利润率，不得不提高PC的售价。
最近IDC的报告显示，全球PC销量在2016年第四季度同比下跌了1.5%，仅为7020万部。Gartner分析师认为，随着全球PC出货量不断下跌，接下来厂商会专注于高端高价位的PC，以获取更高利润，但廉价PC不会消失，不过PC厂商不认为具有太高的吸引力。
目前尚不清楚各类PC平均涨价会是多少，以及涨价期会持续多长时间，但2017年春季电脑价格便开始逐步上涨。
