The RAM crisis feels relentless, but Black Friday could come to your rescue

The RAM crisis has been worsening throughout October, with predictions that the problem will persist well into 2030. Recent forecasts from SK Hynix, Dell, and Intel all suggest that supply issues will remain a challenge for years to come. Samsung has echoed these concerns, warning that RAM shortages will worsen in the coming years.

Despite the bleak outlook, some experts believe that Black Friday could provide a glimmer of relief for consumers looking to purchase new PCs and other tech devices. The memory chip shortage is expected to affect graphics cards, laptops, and gaming laptops in particular, with prices likely to rise further next year. However, those who act quickly during Black Friday sales could potentially snag some bargains on mid-to-lower-end GPUs, gaming laptops, and other products that may see price hikes down the line.
