The skyrocketing prices of DRAM and NAND are affecting PC hardware costs, and Minisforum is just one manufacturer that has officially announced product price hikes.
Minisforum Releases Price Adjustment Notice, Blaming Higher DRAM and Storage Component Costs That Forced It to Increase Mini PC Prices
DRAM sky-high prices are affecting almost the entire PC hardware ecosystem, and from GPUs to mini PCs, everything is being affected. We recently reported how the DRAM prices have nearly doubled this year, which has affected even mobile devices and GPUs. NAND prices have also increased, resulting in costlier storage drives. Bearing this in mind, popular mini PC maker, Minisforum, has today released a price adjustment notice, stating that it will increase the prices of its products.
Minisforum says that due to the continued increase in global prices for "raw materials" and "key components", the manufacturing costs have risen drastically. After lengthy discussions, they had to choose between two options: either stick to the current prices and reduce product quality or increase the prices, maintaining the current quality. They chose the latter, and say that it will adjust the prices of certain products in the future "moderately.
Dear MINISFORUM partners: Thank you for your trust and support over the years! It is because of every user’s support that we can continue to innovate in the mini-PC field and bring high-quality products to everyone.
Today, we want to openly communicate an industry challenge we are all facing—a continued increase in global prices for raw materials and key components, which has caused manufacturing costs to rise significantly. After multiple rounds of internal evaluation and cost absorption, we were left with two choices:
“Maintain low prices but sacrifice quality,” or
“Adjust prices appropriately while ensuring product experience.”
We firmly chose the latter. Ensuring quality is our fundamental responsibility and also the best way to honor every user’s trust. After multiple assessments, we have made a cautious decision: In the future, prices for certain products will be adjusted moderately. To minimize impact, the following products will NOT be affected by this adjustment:
Barebone (unconfigured) models;
Products that leave the factory without DDR5 memory or SSD installed.
For MINISFORUM, pricing is only one part of our service—quality and responsibility to users are the foundation. We believe true brand responsibility means not avoiding difficulties, protecting users during adjustments, and honoring commitments in the long term. We have always regarded our users as partners in growth. This price adjustment is a step we take together to face industry pressure. In the future, we will continue to deliver solid quality and service, fulfilling our promise to bring more imaginative products such as AI mini workstations, AI mini PCs, mini gaming PCs, and AI NAS devices.
Thank you again for your understanding and support!

The key components that Minisforum is referring to are the DRAM and Storage drives. It says that its mini PCs with Barebone (without memory and storage) will not affect the prices, and also those that leave their production sites without any DDR5 memory and SSD installed. Minisforum has ensured in the statement that they believe "quality" and "responsibility" are an essential part of their service.
That said, the newer prices should be in effect very soon since the DRAM and SSDs have gone a lot expensive already. Expensive DRAM is also reportedly affecting the launch of the GeForce RTX 50 Super series, which is rumoredly to be postponed to Q3 2026. Even the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB edition is said to be cut in supply due to higher demand and higher costs of GDDR7 memory chips.
