ASUS Spain has stated that for the moment these price increases will not affect our country
We have contacted ASUS USA and they have told us that this price increase is due to various causes, from the increase in logistics and transport costs, something that could affect all markets, up to US customs costs that would only be applicable locally in that country.
We have contacted ASUS Spain and their declarations have been that “for the moment this price increase does not affect Spain”. So, at least to this day, we should not see this increase reach our country.
