Mga lods, here's what's happening sa PC hardware world lately:
- Baka mag-abot ng 40% price increase ang mainstream laptops soon — dahil daw sa tariffs at supply chain issues. Grabe.
- Dell at Lenovo na nga ang unang nag-report ng price hikes, so expect na rin na sundan ng ibang brands. Dark times for PC gaming budgets.
- Sa Japan naman, may electronics store sa Akihabara na literally nagbebeg ng old PCs from customers — "we pretty much buy any PC" daw sila haha. Hardware drought is real.
- Pero strangely, global PC shipments actually surged in Q3 2025 — mostly driven by AI PC demand at Windows 10 EOL upgrades. So people are still buying, just not the exciting stuff.
- Speaking of AI PCs — yun na yata yung focus ng manufacturers ngayon. Kaya feeling ng iba, boring na yung "regular" PC hardware launches.
- PCWorld wrote a piece na basically sums up what many enthusiasts feel: PC hardware feels stale lately. Wala yung "wow" factor na dati natin nararamdaman sa new GPU/CPU launches.
- Sa good news side, may mga deals pa rin na mahanap if you're patient — Tom's Hardware has an ongoing roundup ng best GPU, CPU, at SSD deals na pwede mong i-check.
