whens the last time you priced a “high end pc”?

👉👈 Maybe five years ago. Even then, I'll admit "high end" is generous.

$800 is still a ton of money for an ugly pair of glasses with a gimmick nobody has implemented.

I mean, I saw 32GB ram sticks going for $1k the other day.

But you can get a Ryzen 9 9950X for under $700. The chips going up into the four and five figures are for very high end video rendering and machine learning.
