It’s not just desktops, it’s phones and laptops and consoles
Good thing I don’t care about any of those things enough to pay the rip-off prices. I’m fine with my 4 year old phone and 10 year old PC. If they crap out then I’ll replace them with some cheap old crap. I don’t need high specs, there isn’t much worth running these days.
That’s assuming everyone’s devices crap out during this year or two while the AI and memory companies play pretend that they’re actually going to use up all this memory.
Doesn’t need to be everyone, there’s always going to be people needing replacement devices, it just takes a greater percentage of those to buy used to drive up demand. At the same time it’s like supply will drop at least some as people are put off buying a new device so their used device doesn’t reach the market

And used prices will surge as more people make the same decision as you
