Just got 64GB for my brand new Dell XPS15. Slightly weird as we are cloud based. But developing the code that sits in the cloud takes quite a few resources.

Suck it up losers.....

That's the same as what my client sent me, with the 4K UHD IPS screen too. Has a 1TB NMVe drive which is already full.

Had to order another server at Christmas with 2 processors in as the original only had 1, took longer than normal and yes, it was hardware shortages but they somehow managed to prioritise it for us and will be shipping it to Vegas today

There may be an untpapped niche for 3d printed PC cases based on fantasy items.

Until now gamers thought a few led lights were the state of the art.

Until now?? They still do!

All the vloggers still cram their cases with twinkly lights all over the place when they're doing a build.

Dodged it by buying the previous gen AMD Ryzen 3900 (12 core/24 thread) while it was still current gen, seeing as the new gen are way more expensive and in short supply. Built the whole thing for not much more than the cost of just a 5900X which appears to be out of stock everywhere anyway.

Only got 32gb, though with it being my WFH laptop (i.e. a desktop) I have 2 more spare slots if ever need more ram.

To be honest it's overkill for most of my needs but for the relatively low price may as well go large.
