Two-year-old Surface PCs get $300 price hikes as sub-$1,000 models go away - Ars Technica
Overview
Microsoft raised prices on two-year-old Surface laptops by roughly $300 and has effectively removed sub-$1,000 Surface models from its lineup, widening the gap between base and premium configurations. The move continues a 2026 pattern of hardware price increases driven by rising component costs, tariffs and supply-chain pressures. Nintendo's Switch 2 price hike is another example of the same consumer-tech trend pushing prices higher across devices.
