Mini-PC Quote Example with Tariff

One of our favorite devices in kiosks and digital signage will always be the computer, and we usually favor the mini-PC.  Small, powerful and generally purpose-built. Hard to beat. Our own in-house systems run on Intel NUCs (System76). For reference, in the kiosk and digital signage space, the other two primary components will be the display or touchscreen, and also the enclosure and mounting.  Don’t forget maintenance and service and you have the full deal.

Updated US Customs and Border Protection guidance exempts popular consumer tech imports, including from China.

President Trump’s administration initially imposed tariffs on various imported goods, including electronics from China. These tariffs were intended to protect American industries and jobs. However, there was significant concern within the tech industry about the potential impact on consumers, due to increased prices on electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, and computer chips. The tariffs threatened to disrupt the supply chain and increase costs for manufacturers. Subsequently, the Trump administration made a crucial decision to exempt smartphones, laptops, and computer chips from these tariffs. This exemption was a significant relief to tech companies and consumers, preventing a potential surge in prices for electronic devices. While some smaller tech companies initially faced challenges due to related tariff implications, the exemption of major electronics largely mitigated the negative economic consequences that were initially anticipated.  From The Verge
