Prices for these popular computer accessories are going up

Logitech has bumped up prices by up to 25% on a bunch of its products, probably because of tariffs on stuff coming in from China. A video breakdown by Cameron Dougherty (via 9to5Mac) shows that around 51% of Logitech’s lineup is feeling the impact, with an average price hike of about 14%.

For instance, the MX Master 3S mouse has increased by $20 to $119.99, the Pro X TKL keyboard shot up from $199.99 to $219.99, and the K400 Plus Wireless Touch keyboard is now $34.99 after a $7 increase (that’s a 25% jump!).

On the bright side, not everything has seen price increases—the MX Ergo mouse and the G703 gaming mouse are still at their old prices. You might even find better deals on Amazon, which could help balance out those hikes.

These price increases come right after Logitech pulled its financial outlook for 2026, thanks to “tariff uncertainty” tied to President Trump’s trade policies. It had originally predicted sales for 2026 to be between $4.53 billion and $4.71 billion, but is still sticking with its 2025 sales forecast.

Experts say Logitech’s pricing often sets the trend for other brands, so we might soon see similar increases from competitors.

In recent weeks, President Trump has announced various tariffs worldwide, leading to much uncertainty worldwide.

Currently, China is facing exceptionally high tariff rates from the Trump administration. These began with a 10% tariff on all imports from China that took effect February 4, 2025, which was then increased by another 10% on March 4.

The tariff situation has escalated significantly, with China now facing up to a 245% tariff on some imports to the United States. This includes a 125% “reciprocal” tariff, a 20% tariff related to the fentanyl crisis, and existing Section 301 tariffs that range from 7.5% to 100% on specific goods.

Unlike other countries that received a 90-day pause on new tariffs above the 10% baseline, China has been excluded from this reprieve. While imports from most other countries maintain the 10% baseline tariff, China’s minimum tariff rate was increased to 145%.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.

Two new highly requested iCloud plugins just got added to ChatGPT, giving people who rely on Apple’s Mail and Calendar services a way to search emails, check appointments, and manage their schedules directly through the chatbot.

The integration is rolling out to all ChatGPT plans, including the free tier. You can access it on the web, desktop, and iOS.
