Creature, just take the L and accept you're being dense and pedantic. Yes, it's news, obviously. Is it surprising news? Not that much if you have a brain, but not everyone is that savvy to be capable of correlating cause and future consequence. The fact that a laptop manufacturer has already stated they're going to raise prices is news because: 1. It's to tell the stupid people who thought (believed in Trump*) that the increase wouldn't end up being paid by the consumers; and 2. Raises questions about how fast these companies are already planning to fuck the consumers over before the tariffs even hit. Both are perfectly newsworthy.
