According to Bloomberg, the U.S. relies on imports from China for a majority of the following products by value: game consoles (86%, $6 billion), PC monitors (79%, $5 billion), smartphones (73%, $41 billion), lithium-ion batteries (70%, $16 billion), and laptops (66%, $32 billion).

Not to mention countries other than China (particularly ones that are involved in tech hardware manufacturing like Vietnam and Thailand) are also under tariffs.
