Lenovo alerts partners to looming price hikes on consumer and server products

Overview

Lenovo (via CRN) has sent a letter to partners warning them of price hikes on select PC and server configurations coming in March due to a shortage of DRAM and 3D NAND memory, which will consequently increase costs.

Details of the announcement

• The letter, dated February 2, was sent by North America channel chief Wade McFarland.
• It outlines new ordering deadlines and repricing conditions that affect both:
  • Intelligent Devices Group (IDG) – client devices such as desktops and notebooks.
  • Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) – servers.

Affected products

The warning applies to “certain products and configurations” within Lenovo’s commercial IDG lineup, covering a broad range from smartphones to high‑end ThinkPad laptops.

Ordering timeline

• Partners must place orders with distributors by February 25.
• Orders must reach Lenovo no later than February 28 to qualify for current pricing, subject to availability and shipment timing.
• Any orders received before February 28 but not shipped by March 31, 2026 will be subject to repricing.
