Every PC user today knows we kind of missed the peak, we didn’t appreciate what we had when computing could really be “personal”. The good news is there’s no longer a real technological moat around peak era PC technology, it’s relatively easy to build computers now (as can be seen from the amount of junk on the market). So today there are a lot of clones of old platforms, a few new ambitious platforms, but I’m not really seeing a lot in the middle that can replace legacy PC culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, given that it’s really easy to get an ultra fast PC with all the latest AI stuff if you want that, and it’s really easy to get a clone of a vintage PC if you want that real retro experience, and given that these are widely available but often unaffordable or too risky of an investment, I think the gap in the market today might be for a “real” PC that actually lives up to the hype like “a computer all your own, controlled from your own home” and is a reliable recommendable product that won’t ruin your finances, career or hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
