    I’ll just replace it with comparable performance parts. What used to cost £500 now costs more like £200 if you are happy with a similar level of performance. Look at the steam deck, and that includes the price of a battery, touchscreen and controller inputs!

    I wonder how far we are from onboard graphics being comparable to my now 8 year old GPU…

    Edit - just looked it up, Radeon 780M is from last gen Ryzen CPUs, not sure when/if G series processors are coming for 9000s CPUs or not. Looks like it might be comparable to a 1050Ti, so they are getting there and that isn’t exactly bad performance.

      You should watch the video, because your comment misunderstands it completely. The point is that in the future there will be no new consumergrade PC components on the market at all, because only a couple of huge corps will survive and they will achieve total monopoly of the market.

      It is not a question of price or anything like that, they will simply stop producing it in favour of datacenters, where you can lease computerpower (through AI agents).

        Phone sales are massive aren’t they? You can buy computers with the same components that some phones use. Currently not overly popular but that might be where we end up.

      I know the video is over 3 hours long but you should watch it and should be concerned because how it’s going eventually there won’t be “comparable performance parts” or any parts whatsoever and it’s not a problem that you can resolve later it’s a problem that’s growing right now and will only get worse.
