Computers have never been more powerful. There is less and less of a reason to do annual upgrades. I don’t follow this logic at all. The average consumer does not even need a home computer anymore. Sure if you are upgrading you gaming PC or something similar than your going to feel a bit more of a squeeze but even then it’s not a wild increase in price compared to the hours spent using.

GPUs are still overpriced and memory-limited. There's room for 10-100x improvement that would be noticeable.

Not for the person I was responding to. For the vast majority of consumers your statement does not apply.
