I got the EVO-X2 for $1,599! In 44+ years of buying computers, I've seen some appreciation, but nothing like this. Going from $1,599 to ~$3,500 in a year is just insane.
I was looking at buying hardware for me and as testing ground to learn. With those prices I just nipped out and will just rent in demand at runpod or so.
Absolute insanity
128GB of the most in demand chip on the planet will do that to you.
I've never seen appreciation in buying PCs. They were always like cars, once you drive them off the lot...
