Building a PC the past 2 years has been the best decision ever…depleted inventories my fucking ass, less people are building PC’s now than ever because of the memory chip prices. They’re cutting supply to increase prices.
This is a reminder to all AMD fans that NO company gives a damn about any of us.
Same here. Built a new PC like 6 months ago when it was all barely starting (good timing) and my notebook and phone are also fairly recent, like 1.5 years old. Tablet as well fairly recent, 2y old, but that’s really only used for home media consumption so it doesn’t even matter in that case. So I should be good for the next 5+ years or so. Hopefully the AI bubble has burst until then.
I was planning on replacing my 2017 build next year but I bit the bullet this month. Even if prices drop by 50% in the next year there are going to be no parts to buy :/
My decision to buy a Steam Deck has proven financially sound in the long run.
this is going down as one of my better purchases.
NGL I’m not loving being a PC enthusiast lately.
Pay more, get the same. Fantastic deal. 🙄
Thing is that low prices in tech is the only thing thats been damping down inflation throughout this millenia and before. Combine this with the war on low energy prices and its quite the time bomb.
glad I didn’t listen to my spouse and built my badass computer right when the 9070XT / 5070TI came out (went with the 9070 for the 16gb vram, happy with the card).
It’s as if they want us all to touch grass.
sad team red noises
Guess I’ll never have a gaming PC then :(
That day will come.
I believe in you, ilovesaggytits:)
Didnt Intel just release cheap CPUs?
