I do not envy anyone who is trying to upgrade an aging PC. Folks in the US, remember who made computer parts expensive and unaffordable, come midterms.
I’m glad I did so just before Trump got elected again. I’m also glad I got a GPU when I did, despite the ridiculous cost.
Built a gaming PC last year and a mini computer arrived last month riiiiight before tariffs kicked in. I think I'm good for the next 4 years at least. My daily driver laptop was built in 2011 so I'm used to hanging onto tech for a while!
What are the specs of the 2011 laptop?
So glad I built my 5800X3D/7900XTX system when I did. It's got plenty of horsepower for the next several years for my usage.
Kinda to glad I was able to move up my plans to build a new PC right when I heard we actually went through with the tariff plan.
