Nvidia and partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI will release a 64GB version of the GB10-based DGX Spark system on October 23, priced from $4,999. The new tier sits alongside the existing 128GB configuration, which currently sells for roughly $7,000 to $9,000 due to memory shortages.
The NVIDIA Shield TV Pro streaming box has risen from $200 to $299.99 on Amazon and Best Buy, a roughly $100 increase. The device, over a decade old, remains notable for its 64-bit Android support and long software update history.
Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said demand will outstrip supply for DRAM and NAND through 2027 and 2028, even tighter than in 2026, with most of next year's capacity already sold. Despite planned shipment growth in the low-to-mid 20% range, the company says it has no visibility into when supply and demand will balance, while forecasting record fiscal-quarter revenue of $61.5 billion and an 86.25% gross margin.
HP has launched the OmniBook 5, a slim laptop pitched as a MacBook Air-style competitor with a colorful design and high-quality display. Reports note that buyers should check the RAM configuration carefully, as the base specification may be lower than expected relative to the price.
Micron's FY27 guidance states that demand from humanoid robots and other physical AI devices could outpace data centers as a driver of memory and storage demand. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said each humanoid robot needs roughly 200GB of DRAM and several terabytes of storage, and that current memory demand already exceeds supply by about 50%. The company expects new cleanroom capacity to be insufficient to ease the shortage soon.
During its FY2026 earnings call, Micron said RAM and NAND shortages will intensify through 2027 and 2028, with CEO Sanjay Mehrotra stating demand will keep outpacing supply despite planned shipment growth in the low-to-mid 20% range. The company also guided for record FQ1 revenue of $61.5 billion and an 86.25% gross margin, implying over $53 billion in gross profit and projected EPS of $38.15 per share.
Samsung has raised US prices on nearly every Galaxy S26 model by $100, and by $200 on the 1TB S26 Ultra, according to Phone Arena. The base S26 now costs $999, bringing it $200 above the original S25 price once an earlier $100 launch-price increase is factored in. The Galaxy S26 FE is the only model in the lineup that wasn't hit by this latest increase.
Micron reported that its DRAM revenue climbed 343% compared with the same period last year, driven by rising memory prices and strong demand. The company is the only U.S.-based manufacturer of high-bandwidth memory, a chip type increasingly used in AI systems.
Korean tipster yeux1122 claims Samsung will raise prices across multiple storage tiers and models in the Galaxy S27 series. The reported increase ranges from roughly 100,000 to 130,000 won (about $74-$96), though these figures apply specifically to the Korean market. The leaker also suggests the S27 Pro and Ultra may use pricier UFS 5.1 storage and LPDDR6 RAM.
Rising memory and component prices are expected to push average computer prices up by as much as 20% by year's end. With new machines becoming less affordable, guidance is circulating on low-cost ways to boost an existing PC's performance, such as cleaning out dust, deleting junk files, and reusing spare parts.
A Reddit user whose G.Skill Trident Z5 64GB DDR5 kit had one dead stick filed an RMA under the lifetime warranty, despite having bought the kit as an open-box eBay listing for $150 in May 2025. G.Skill approved the claim and shipped a brand-new replacement kit that currently retails for $1,199 on Amazon, prompting the buyer to publicly praise the company.
Average consumer memory prices have risen sharply since last September, with 2TB NVMe SSDs up 137%, 32GB DDR5 kits up 363%, and some 64GB DDR5-6000 kits up nearly 500%. High-capacity RAM like 128GB and 512GB ECC kits has become scarce or drastically more expensive, and a 4TB Samsung SSD that cost $390 in 2024 now runs $1,100. IDC data cited alongside these figures shows smartphone average selling prices are also expected to climb 27.6% in 2026 amid falling shipments, while Apple has raised prices across much of its product line.
