EVs anyone?

Gaming laptops, for example, are *way* cheaper than desktops for the first time ever.

It's a power thing. Now Moore's Law is pretty much done, you need to use more transistors and power to go significantly faster, but you can't do that in a laptop form factor, you simply can't get rid of 100W+ without burning someone's leg.

I've put it down to the fact that GPUs embedded into laptops aren't useful to crypto-miners.

There's going to be a avalanche of trouble when that thing folds.

Already has.

Already has.

Things seem to be taking a while to catch up, but yeah.

The laptop thing I've been surprised at, even as someone who switched a desktop for laptops 5ish years ago. 3070ti laptops get 85% performance of a desktop version but they're over 30% cheaper and have 50-60% less power draw.

Of course the desktop card market will sort itself out eventually but for now it means I'm feverishly holding out for a decent bonus this year so I can switch out my laptop.

Wow the new Prius is a looker -

Bloody hell, yeah. Huge improvement on the original!
