I think we’re seeing his spilt economic system coming into play with computer hardware. Less and less B2C sales over time. It’s just not as profitable to sell to poor people.
In 1995 my parents, both factory workers, bought me a $2500 Packard Bell PC with 100MHz Pentium, 8MB of RAM, and a 1GB hard drive. Adjusted for inflation that would be a $5,283.95 computer today.
I remember that exact model. Computers use to be very expensive. You can pick up a brand new powerful laptop to build a career on for $300 at Target. (I’m in the US I know many commenters here are not)
