What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.

Sure it's scuttlebutt but wouldn't surprise me as being true.

When the bubble pops most of that gear will be useless for consumer use.

Penis! I picked a fine time to finally want to upgrade my Win 7 laptop from 2011.

I'm betting on a $700/$800 Steam Deck 2 when that launches and that being a solid deal. PS6 and it's rumored 36GB of memory, don't hold your breath for a release
