A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.
Bucha Bull to me.
Except for gaming and graphics related things, I predict we will see more and more of a rise of affordable compact PCs just on chips like beelinks/pi’s/NUCs running Linux because of this.
I’m hoping we get proper entry level graphics cards again. Integrated graphics are almost there even for many games. I don’t need 120 fps 4k AMD. 120fps 1080p is fine.
