Microsoft has become the latest victim of the ongoing RAM crisis, quietly hiking the prices on its consumer-facing Surface laptops by as much as $300. This shouldn't come as a surprise — after all, we've just seen the PlayStation 5 get even more expensive for the same reason.
First picked up by the team at Windows Central, the price increases took effect at the Microsoft Store, with other retailers expected to follow suit. Just about every model is affected, and Windows Central notes that flagships like the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 are now $500 more expensive than their initial launch price in 2024.
