Prime Day Peripheral Deals Offer Consumers a Cushion as RAMageddon Hits Core Hardware
While surging memory chip prices have driven up the cost of laptops, desktops, tablets, phones, and consoles — a phenomenon some are calling RAMageddon — computer peripherals are holding out as a relative value pocket, and Amazon's Prime Day is widening those discounts further. Keyboards, mice, monitors, and docks from brands including 8BitDo, Keychron, Logitech, Asus, and LG are all trading meaningfully below their listed prices, giving consumers an opening to upgrade what they plug into a machine without absorbing the shock battering core hardware.
