Mini PC maker Minisforum just announced a price hike for its product lineup, except for barebone models and items that do not come with DDR5 memory and SSD storage. The company made this announcement on X, suggesting that the change is brought about by increasing memory costs due to the massive demand AI hyperscale projects have put on the global memory supply, causing a worldwide NAND shortage that could last a decade. The price increase will take effect on Tuesday, November 4, just as its Halloween Sale ends, giving shoppers time to get their hands on Minisforum products over the weekend before the hikes.
“Due to the rise in global raw material costs, which has led to a significant increase in our overall costs, MINISFORUM will implement a slight price adjustment across our product lineup on November 4, 2025 (PST),” the company said in a statement. “Please note that barebone (bare system) models and products without DDR5 memory and/or SSD will not be affected by this adjustment currently.” Although it did not explicitly say the reason for the price increase, the fact that items that do not come with memory and storage remain unaffected clearly suggests that it’s caused by these components.
