I'm especially enjoying how RAM and SSDs are going down in price.

GPUs and memory have gone up in price. It's more expensive to buy a 1-2 year old video card than it was at launch, sometimes by a shockingly large factor. Laptop vendors have recently shipped flagship models with less memory than the previous model, because they can't match price expectations for a laptop.

I was checking laptops today for an upgrade from the model I bought back in 2019 and it's not gonna happen from how cheap they are.

i figured out why this comment is so confusing: this is actually a message from the past, around 2020. either that or simianwords is a time traveler that arrived today and hasn't read the news yet.
