Oh sorry, yeah that was directed towards the comment that the desktop market is getting smaller. I've heard that "the desktop computer is dead" for over two decades now, so that wiki page is quite interesting.
I'd love to see the 2024 number once it gets published, because the 2020/1 numbers are such an anomalies from COVID that it's hard to tell if the market's actually shrinking or just stabilizing.
It likely will stabilize, but it might become more of an enthusiast market. People don’t necessarily need a PC anymore.
