New Laptop and PC Prices Are Climbing Fast
Since late 2025, computer prices have been rising much faster than usual. According to CNBC Indonesia (14 April 2026), retailers at ITC Kuningan reported laptop price increases of Rp2 million to Rp4 million per unit — up to Rp4 million for models with a dedicated graphics card — while sales volume dropped by as much as 50% as buyers held back. Major vendors adjusted too: Dell raised PC prices by 15-20% in mid-December 2025, and Lenovo announced a full price list revision effective 1 January 2026. ASUS Indonesia also confirmed price adjustments from January 2026 on the back of global supply chain conditions.
Why Prices Are Rising This Sharply
Three factors are stacking on top of each other:
- RAM and SSD supply crisis. DRAM contract prices rose 80-100% in December 2025 alone, driven by demand for memory chips for servers and AI data centres, which absorbed almost all of Samsung's and SK Hynix's production capacity (Kompas Tekno, December 2025). In the Indonesian retail market, DDR5 RAM that used to sell for Rp800-900 thousand now goes for Rp2-2.5 million, with 32GB modules reaching Rp7-8 million by January 2026.
- Chip scarcity driven by AI industry priorities. New memory plants will only reach full capacity around 2028, so price pressure is expected to persist for the next few years.
- A weaker rupiah. Core components such as chips, RAM and SSDs are traded in US dollars, so exchange rate movements hit as soon as vendors restock. Katadata noted that laptop prices in Indonesia are already more than 10% higher than the previous year because of this.
The result: an entry-level laptop that cost around Rp6 million a year ago now sits closer to Rp8 million for the same specs.
A Sensible Alternative: Grade A Corporate Laptops and PCs
Against that backdrop, corporate-class used laptops and PCs are no longer a second-rate choice — they are a rational buying strategy. GMInsights projects the global refurbished laptop market to grow from USD 6.4 billion (2025) to USD 11.7 billion by 2035, with laptops accounting for roughly 25% of the entire refurbished electronics market and still growing on demand for cost-efficient computing.
What sets a Grade A unit apart from an ordinary second-hand machine: these come from companies that keep strict IT asset replacement and maintenance cycles, so both physical condition and performance remain high. A few concrete reasons Grade A corporate units are worth considering right now:
- Considerably better value for specs equal to or higher than a new laptop in the same price range — which matters most while new prices are climbing.
- Not a random pick. Klik Second only sells Grade A units: RAM and storage already meet corporate work standards, not whatever happened to pass a rough sort.
- Ready to use for work, study, or small business operations — no extra upgrades needed up front.
- One-month warranty as assurance that each unit was tested before it reached the buyer.
- A dropship model with no dead stock lets Klik Second focus on sourcing the right unit at the right quality and price, rather than clearing warehouse leftovers.
