I got into the pc hardware scene late 2016. Back then (even though it was only 7 years ago lol) things were a lot more affordable. 10 series was just coming out and was fairly priced for the big performance leap it was. Technology has advanced today and I understand that thing’s naturally get more expensive to research and develop but the top end gpu now costs 1,600 and the best of the time then which was the 1080ti cost 700 dollars. Things have gotten way out of wack. Several of my older pc building buddies have put a new rig on hold and are using a ps5 or Xbox because they’re affordable for good performance and a comparable pc is something like 1k usd. What sucks about all of this is that things will only get worse …. Not better.

They honestly don’t need to if we’re just gonna be real. Are touch screen laptops that big of deal for most people? I don’t think so. I myself at least have a MacBook Pro for my desk work and if I need to go somewhere for work I can easily pack it up but when I’m laying in bed or just going up to the local coffee shop for a break I take my iPad. I’m sure some people out there want a touch screen MacBook but I don’t think it’s the majority of people.
