Apple is reportedly buying up all available mobile DRAM at very high prices to starve out its competitors
If things keep going on like that, the computer landscape in Europe will look like the streets of Cuba in five years. They have to keep old cars running at all costs (because of the embargo)... and we have to keep all old computers/Laptops/Mobile phopnes running as we cannot effort to buy new stuff...
Current computer prices, especially memory and GPU-chips

Re: Current computer prices, especially memory and GPU-chips
Yes, I was horrified a couple of weeks ago when checking the prices of RAM.
I needed 3 new mini-PCs for 3D rendering duty and a 64GB kit was something like €650 compared to €150 last year.
I ended up cannibalising other PCs and laptops to spread out the RAM and bring them up to a bare minimum of 32GB each.
Not ideal but will have to do for now!
