Acer just beat its biggest competitors in an important race: it's the first major laptop maker to confirm pricing changes due to US President Donald Trump's tariffs on exported goods from China. Acer might be the first, but I don't expect it will be the last to reveal similar plans.

Taiwan-based Acer, subject to the new tariffs, is expected to raise the price of its laptops by 10%. That matches the 10% tariff on Chinese imports imposed by President Trump on February 3, 2025.
