Yes, pretend it’s something wrong with the right idea (a repairable /upgradable device) and not the fact that America took a giant, wet trump all over the entire economy and a combo meal at mcdonalds is $16 with a small, non-refillabke drink and everything else is exponentially fucked from there.
Give us a reasonable pre-trump PC market, with this being a slight premium above that, do projections to normalize cost of ownership over say 10 years and it would grow. But we live here, so no.
You’d have to be borderline mentally invalid to ignore the impact trump has had on the entirety of American business and the economy, let alone the RAM crisis him and his loser AI cronies are causing.
Moving the goalposts from PC prices being higher to the rampocolypse just to lick boots harder is the real tds.
This is kinda like when I saw a piece of plywood nailed awkwardly to a tree with some shit about tDS spray painted on it. Showing your own ass there bud.
Donald Trump’s administration literally writes the laws of the country and can absolutely limit and regulate AI companies but they chose not to and in fact paid open AI in government contracts for their garbage.
Do you even know anything about this subject or are you just hoping trump sees this and offers to let you suck his little weenie?
So you think they should have made laws to stop AI companies from buying hardware? Based on what? Why?
You can’t blame an administration for companies buying things from other companies in bulk lol. You do not want a government making ad-hoc laws to stop things like that, that is an absolutely insane thing to even suggest.
It has nothing to do with trump. How about you try and look at things not just through a “how can I blame this on trump?” lense?
RAM makers are free to sell their entire allocation to a single buyer if they want. You’re telling me that you want the government to make laws to prevent that? What would that law look like?
Do you even realise what you’re saying? You want the government to come in and tell companies who to sell their product to and how much they get. That is absolutely fucking laughable. That’s not what a government is for lol
I think he’s saying, in this particular instance is that Trump’s fault? It’s B2B, and probably would have happened regardless of who’s POTUS (see GPU shortages under Biden’s term).
Don’t get me wrong, Trump is totally interventionist as long as it personally benefits his family. But this far he’s not made any plays wrt to supply/demand of hardware. From whats been officially released, the only interventionism he’s done wrt AI companies is get then them to have backdoors and be used for military applications.
So when I work with the procurement department to make accurate cost estimates based on tariffs, specifically, that’s just a hallucination. Good thing I have Internet trolls to snap me out of it.
Tariffs on RAM and semiconductors haven’t even started yet you turkey lol.
As I said, RAM prices have exploded all over the world. Trumps tariffs don’t affect other countries. They exploded BEFORE any tariffs were announced. The announced tariffs haven’t even begun being enforced yet lol

You think trump caused, or even had anything to do with current pc prices? 🤣
You’d have to be borderline mentally invalid to ignore the impact trump has had on the entirety of American business and the economy, let alone the RAM crisis him and his loser AI cronies are causing.
You think Trump is responsible for AI companies buying all the RAM and SSDs?
TDS at its best.
Unironically accusing someone of having TDS in 2026 sure is a sight to behold.
Accusing trump of causing the AI RAM-pocalypse is nothing other than TDS.
Moving the goalposts from PC prices being higher to the rampocolypse just to lick boots harder is the real tds.

A few AI companies made deals for future fabrication from a literal oligopoly of RAM makers.
Consumers are getting locked out, are you even paying attention?
Buying years worth of future fabrication for shit that other industries and consumers need is anti competitive as fuck.
Bro open a fucking book for 5 minutes or something holy shit you’re dense.
Anti competitive? What? Lol. How?

Bingo.
Tariffs made many things more expensive for consumers including computers and parts, yes.
Tariffs have nothing to do with it, clearly, when countries other than the US have the same prices and issues with RAM and other pc parts.

Bullshit. There’s been 20-25% tarrifs on ALL goods from China, Mexico, and Canada.
Please make a post in response to this one because you really got your stuff together on knowing facts
Edit: Not a jab at post OP either just saying we need repairable laptops and when it becomes norm even cheaper ones will be good
