Eric20, 10 Oct 2022There is hardly a reason to upgrade. A 5 year old desktop/laptop still works fine. Only people... moreThey can upgrade just the gpu instead of the whole PC.

I have zero trouble playing high-end games and console emulators at high settings. I don't see the need to have it replaced anytime soon. It's still good for the next three or four or even five years to me.

Even with smartphones, a four-year-old flagship SoC is still more than enough. I have an LG V50 with Snapdragon 855 and a Huawei Mate 20 with Kirin 980, and they are still a solid performer in 2022. I even have no trouble running AetherSX2 PS2 emulator at full speed on both of them. Also, they got their own custom Desktop Mode flavour called Screen+ and EMUI Desktop respectively, which can let you use your phone as a PC. It's far from a true Windows machine replacement to me, but I definitely value that feature when I'm travelling light without my PC.

-Trix-, 10 Oct 2022” Looking at individual companies, Apple surged up 40.2% compared to the same period last year... moreConsidering the fact that the sales in Q3-21 were half of nearest competitor, and Q1, Q2 of this year were about the same level as the above mentioned Q3/21, I would wait with celebrating until the end of the year. Total numbers may not seem that great.

A computer is not a smartphone that you replace every two or three years. It makes sense that sales dropped after a massive wave of purchases with the outbreak of the corona virus. Because there is a demand and even a requirement that almost every soul in the family unit has a computer. After this was answered, i.e., the family purchased computers for all members of the household, the replacement will only be in about 5 to 10 years. Most people are light users, so old and slow computers "do not threaten them", they will not rush to change to a new one. Only innovations or a technological breakthrough will cause the market to wake up.

Haven’t had a laptop/desktop in years. Nor do I have a printer. If I need something printed my mom does it at work. I’m a disabled NEET btw. I only have an iPhone 14 and AirPods Pro gen 1. If I ever did need computer functionality I’d get an iPad with a Magic Keyboard. Trad computers are obsolete

There is hardly a reason to upgrade. A 5 year old desktop/laptop still works fine. Only people who might upgrade are those who play games or use the GPU for professional work to make use of the latest graphic cards.
