Mga lods, here's what's happening sa PC hardware scene lately:

  • Mga laptop prices daw could go up by 40% soon — parang everywhere may price increases na, so if you're planning to buy, baka now's the time before it gets worse
  • Stores in Japan (Akihabara specifically) are literally begging customers to sell them old PCs — "we pretty much buy any PC" sabi nila. Grabe yung hardware drought talaga
  • Computex 2025 wrapped up and AI dominated everything, pero may interesting PC hardware pa rin na lumabas — new GPUs, cooling solutions, that kind of thing
  • PCWorld wrote a piece about how PC hardware feels "boring" now and it might not be temporary — honestly gets ko yung sentiment, parang walang "wow" factor lately compared to before
  • AI PCs are still being pushed hard ng manufacturers, though medyo unclear pa if regular users actually need the NPU features
  • Tom's Hardware has ongoing deals coverage for 2026 — GPUs, CPUs, SSDs — worth checking if you're in the market for upgrades

Ano thoughts niyo dito? Yung price increase ng laptops yung medyo worrying for me. Baka manggigil na talaga sila sa presyo soon. May balak ba kayong mag-upgrade or tatagal muna yung current rigs niyo?
