Minisforum Reveals Price Increases for Mini PCs Amid Rising Manufacturing Costs from Expensive Components

The escalating costs associated with DRAM and NAND components are having a profound impact on the prices of personal computer hardware. Minisforum, a prominent player in the mini PC market, has officially announced that it will be implementing price increases for its products due to these surging costs.

Minisforum’s Price Adjustment: Addressing Rising Costs of DRAM and Storage Components

As the prices of DRAM continue to soar—reportedly doubling this year—the effects are rippling across the entire PC hardware spectrum, from GPUs to compact mini PCs. Recently, NAND prices have also surged, leading to more expensive storage solutions. In light of these challenges, Minisforum has communicated its decision to raise prices on certain models through an official notice.

According to the announcement, the company is grappling with escalating global prices for essential raw materials and components, which have dramatically inflated manufacturing costs. After careful consideration, Minisforum determined it had two potential paths: either maintain current prices and compromise on product quality or raise prices while preserving the quality standards their customers expect. They have opted for the latter, indicating that adjustments will be made gradually for specific products in the near future.

A Minisforum official notice in Chinese titled 'MINISFORUM铭凡产品价格调整说明' discusses upcoming adjustments to product pricing, effective November 7, 2025.

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 components primarily influencing this price adjustment are the DRAM and storage drives. Minisforum clarified that the prices of its Barebone mini PCs, or those leaving the factory without DDR5 memory and SSDs, will remain unaffected. This commitment underscores the company’s emphasis on quality and responsibility as fundamental to its service philosophy.

Given the current market trends, the updated pricing structure is expected to be implemented shortly, as DRAM and SSD costs have already seen significant increases. Furthermore, the rise in DRAM prices is reportedly delaying the release of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Super series, now anticipated for Q3 2026. Additionally, the supply of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB variant is expected to be squeezed due to greater demand alongside higher costs of GDDR7 memory chips.
