Big jump in PC sales in 2021

Worldwide demand for PCs continued to remain extremely high during the first quarter of 2021, data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) has revealed.

According to the company’s preliminary results, global shipments of traditional PCs, including desktops, notebooks, and workstations, grew 55.2% year over year during the first quarter of 2021.

Despite the global pandemic which prompted shortages of chips in the first quarter of 2020, the high demand for PCs resulted in a favourable year-over-year comparison.

Decent laptops are pretty cheap actually.

Example:

HP Notebook 255 G7 | AMD Ryzen 3 | 8GB| 256GB SSD |15.6" HD | Win10 Home : R7499 (at the time of posting)​

More than capable to do all standard office work, just connect another proper screen to it and you're golden. Loadshedding resistant as well since it's a laptop.

Damn, that's not bad at all.

Trying to hunt down a 3060 ti. Woot has no stock, titan-ice has no stock. Its a joke. Also go look back at the launch announcement for the 3060 ti on MyBB, Some listed at just under R10k, now, 4 months later they are around R15k if you happen to find one
