I don't expect the PC market to shrink, though.

There are some breakthroughs like the Mac Mini M4, sub $300 Chinese Mini PC, the ever-flooded laptop market and the best PC Gaming entry point: the Steam Deck.

It's the Desktop PC Gaming what is what I expect to collapse soon, if it has not.

From my perspective, the #RyzenAI HX 390 MAX series has a very bad value proposition over $1,000.

- For #Gaming, you have RTX 4060M **LAPTOPS** at $800 with a decent CPU.
- For #AI, you can make a good PC for $1,500.
- For battery life, there is a thing called a MacBook.

That's probably why they're not being pushed to the market so hard. Pricing wise, it doesn't make sense.

I'd like an opinion from everyone. I ordered a Star Labs StarFighter some time ago, which included a Ryzen 7000 series CPU. While still perfectly good, it's a bit on the "older" side now given what's out now.

Star Labs emailed people over the weekend to let them know that while newer Ryzen chips are unlikely to support running @coreboot any time soon, they're going to begin shipping laptops with Intel's latest 285H CPU. And they've given me the opportunity to amend my order and swap to one of those.

My priority is battery life and efficiency. I'm not a content creator, and so I don't really need to swap to Intel for that extra bit of performance. But I also know that generational leaps make a large difference. Should I swap from a Ryzen 7000 series CPU to Intel's latest? I'm leaning towards doing so.

"Do you have a computer or smartphone that's easy to repair? Or, when your laptop or phone needs service, will you be forced to buy a whole new device?

"A new report from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund takes a look at just how repairable laptops and smartphones are from some of the biggest computer companies in the world and graded them with a repairability score."
