Supply might stabllize, but will Acer still increase prices for some laptop models? (Image Source: Wallpaper-House.com)

Acer is optimistic about its laptop supply this year, chip shortages to gradually ease by the end of 2021

Acer's president for Pan-Asia Pacific Operations Andrew Hou is estimating a laptop supply stabilization starting with this second quarter. The situation should further improve in the second half of the year. Does this mean the rumored laptop price hikes coming from Acer and Asus will not really happen? What about more efficient ways to deal with scalpers and crypto miners?

LG Gram 16 2-in-1 is bigger and lighter than the HP Spectre x360 15, but there's a catch

Trimming down all that extra fat means cutting back on performance. Other characteristics like screen brightness, hinge rigidity, and chassis flexing could have been improved for stronger first impressions.

Razer's upcoming AMD-powered 14-inch laptops might get low-TGP RTX 3000 dGPU options only, R9 5900HX + RTX 3070 Max-Q configuration spotted

The inclusion of the RTX 3070 Max-Q mobile dGPU seems to be suggesting that Razer's thin and light chassis on the upcoming AMD-powered 14-inch models only allow for lower-TGP dGPU options. Can Razer also add an RTX 3080 Max-Q and are these options really making sense for such price premiums when Lenovo is offering the Max-P versions on the Legion 5 Pro and Legion 7 with superior price/performance ratios?
