    Can someone with more knowledge suggest what I should preemptively buy right now before the prices increase?

    That’s easy because everything is made there anyway.

    This is going to be a lot easier for the Chinese consumer than the American one. They will start to really feel it in a couple months.

    I can’t wait for the Macbook-build quality Linux laptops that are going to come out of China now.

      If you need a replacement digital screen (or other parts), you’ll find genuine parts on AliExpress/AliBaba that were made by the same factories, just were spares. Once last-gen iPhones or HP laptops stop being manufactured the excess has to be sold somewhere.

      I don’t want macbook-build quality anything.

      It’s like buying an extremely expensive prop that was only meant to be used in movies and breaks if it’s used for anything else for a substantial amount of time.
