Well that will dash any hopes of an affordable GPU.

    The Switch2 was supposed to be $399 but now we’ll pay a $50 Trump Tax on every one.

      That’s assuming importers and middle men don’t add on additional fees and I doubt they’re going to be nice enough and only pass on the tariff percentage.

        That’s not really up to them being nice though. If you sell something of value X for a margin of 10%, and the price increases to 1.5X, then the margins must apply to 1.5X.

        It’s compounding for each element of the chain, so a 10% tariff would very much increase the price way beyond 10%, without anyone needing to be greedy about it.

        Then, if you take greed into account… good luck
