Global RAM Shortage Drives Up Electronics Prices: Tech Giants vs. Consumers - A global shortage of memory chips, or RAM, is causing prices for everyday electronics to skyrocket. Tech giants building massive AI data centers are buying up most of the supply, leaving little for consumer products. Prices could jump by twenty percent or more soon. Major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta need huge amounts of RAM for their AI tools, with just three companies controlling nearly all memory chip production worldwide. The era of cheap laptops is over, with entry-level models now starting at eight hundred to nine hundred dollars and potentially climbing to twelve hundred or thirteen hundred dollars for basic quality. Gaming computer builders are spending four times more on RAM, forcing them to raise prices for customers. The shortage could last until at least 2027, reshaping the market for years. Shoppers should check if devices can handle future RAM upgrades to avoid regrets.
