Mini PC manufacturer Minisforum announced Thursday that rising memory and storage component expenses will force the company to raise product costs. The firm cited substantial increases in DRAM and NAND flash pricing as primary factors driving manufacturing expenses higher, explaining that internal evaluations left two options: maintaining current rates while compromising build standards or implementing moderate adjustments while preserving quality benchmarks.
Systems sold without pre-installed DDR5 modules or solid-state drives will remain exempt from the increases, according to company statements. Industry observers note memory chip costs have approximately doubled during the current year, affecting categories from graphics processors to mobile devices. Reports suggest the elevated DRAM expenses may delay anticipated graphics card releases, with some models potentially pushed into mid-2026 and others facing reduced availability because of specialized memory chip demand exceeding supply capacity at higher price points.
