Re:Tariffs result in 10% laptop price hike in U.S. says Acer... by shrikant on Tuesday February 18, 2025 @11:32AM (#43091653)
Why do you assume their costs are going up the same percentage? It's not clear from the linked article, but maybe their costs per your example are going up 12% from 500 to 600, and they're only raising prices by 10% to 1100 to keep the same margin.

Of course I doubt this would actually be the case (because capitalism), but that's the one of the assumptions you're missing in your example.
