Computer prices falling?

When should or can we expect computer prices to go back to normal. Or is this the new norm? I get this odd feeling these proces aren't returning and inflation and other things will make it permanent. Were hardware companies expecting this?

    Maybe mid-to-late 2022.

    Right now it can be easier and cheaper to get a gaming laptop than a desktop since desktop graphics cards are so overpriced. Just remember that laptop GPU models are a lie, a 3070 is really something like a 3060 desktop and worse there are 3060s/3070s with different "power levels" and so different performance,

    I'm interested in it, too. I also want to find a good video card. Now I choose of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and I need more information about these video cards.
    Compare:

    I came to the conclusion that Nvidia-RTX could be better, but I would like to hear your opinion.

    The answer is simple the mobile market is eventually going to swallow the PC and Console side of the industry its just a matter of time now. The majority of why this is happening is that it isn't PC's that are needed to create Cryptocurrency farms its those video cards that are creating that currency.

    However when choosing a video card getting one that is good enough for the games you play is all that you need which just about any video card that is being sold these days is more than enough for this game.
