    How far down are PC sales in general though?

    Is it that more people are buying Linux, or fewer Windows customers are buying new computers at all?

    A few years ago, you’d have households with a laptop for every member of the family. Now with tablets and phones doing so much of the heavy lifting, many families are dropping to just 1 Windows or Mac laptop that mostly gathers dust.

      or people are like me, not gamers, so perfectly contented to upgrade old used PC gear…shoehorn a CPU in with higher core count, max out RAM with a new matched pair of sticks, install a fresh NVMe drive, good to go!

      I recently ordered parts from China to repair my old mechanical keyboard =_= Also ordered fancy new mice for other PC’s & wife’s laptop woo just a little tech refresh goes a long way for me =_=
