It’s going to be fun explaining to our CFO why getting laptops from Best Buy instead of Dell/HP is a bad idea.
But with these prices I can’t blame him for asking.

Glad I built a PC last year, but I kind of wish I had gotten a laptop instead some days. I suppose it’s buy now or wait until like 2028-2030. Who knows if/when the prices will come down.
I guess I’ll wait until 2030. FML.

Hopefully I’ll be fine with the computers I have until the AI bubble bursts and we are getting free RAM in our cereal boxes.

Moral of the story: if you can hold out for a new laptop for a while longer, do so. Mines probably okay until 2030 if I expand storage with more portable drives and some cloud too.

Guess I don’t need one then. 🙂

Meh. People have been treating the multi thousand dollar investment into computers like toilet paper over the last 10 years. They are not outdated when the new model comes out, or even the 4th gen from your model.

I built a pc last year, but it was with older ddr4 ram.
I can’t even afford to replace my dying ram right now.

Good thing apple
Laptops don’t contain any ram. Smart.
Jk, the m4 air is on sale at Costco, $750.

Tarrifs induced my purchase of a laptop.Turns out It wasn’t the most appropriate reason but it got the job done for real

You know what, I’m really glad I got a 64GB RAM upgrade in my Clevo laptop when I got it earlier this year. Now I feel completely justified spending that little extra cash on the RAM knowing I’ll never see this much RAM in a single device again.

It’s like when the crypto stuff messed with the PC market all over again.

Can we go back to 2022 please? Laptops are useful, AI slop isn’t.

I bit the bullet and bought the parts for my first PC build. I went mid range and it cost me 2k CAD. Crazy to think it’s only gonna get worse

Brace Yourself: Laptops Prices Are About to Skyrocket
Dell says it will take ‚targeted pricing action, **when necessary**.‘
Who is writing these articles? What does skyrocket mean? Seriously.

I feel like i should buy whatever reasonable priced ddr5 ram I find, if i can. Currently rocking 32gb ddr4. Only thing out of my build that could use an „upgrade“.
I mean, thing performs well so I may be feeling the fomo.

Brace yourselfs, laptop sales about to drop.

I knew I should have looked for a used Thinkpad before now.

Got my thinkpad with 64gb ram a year ago, I guess I will hold on to it for a long time

This is making handheld PCs more attractive if this is the case.

At this point, fuck AI and all the assholes that want to put it into everything.

So techbros seize the means of ~~production~~ computation and sell it back to us as a subscription?

Run Linux on your computers and you’ll get another 2 decades out of em at least. Time to hit up that used thinkpad market.
