It's obviously to Lenovo's benefit to have people believe that RAM prices will not drop, so that they will not wait out the current price surge.

The price will drop if supply exceeds demand, and if competition increases.

    Supply demand economics was a great concept in grade 8, but in the real world, price fixing and monopolies rule unchecked.

    Imagine if all of us cared about the regulatory capture rampant in the baby formula industry they gave us that US baby formula crisis at the start of the decade, as much as we care about our computer memory.
