Same here. Built a new PC like 6 months ago when it was all barely starting (good timing) and my notebook and phone are also fairly recent, like 1.5 years old. Tablet as well fairly recent, 2y old, but that's really only used for home media consumption so it doesn't even matter in that case. So I should be good for the next 5+ years or so. Hopefully the AI bubble has burst until then.

I was planning on replacing my 2017 build next year but I bit the bullet this month. Even if prices drop by 50% in the next year there are going to be no parts to buy :/

I did a 2020 build just as we were all going home, and it was decent enough. After the first wave of GPU craziness, I thought you know what, I'm going to grab one of those 4070ti cards and a 5800x3d, and topped it up to 128gb of Ram (it was on sale for like under $200, so why not, I just wanted to fill the slots). I mean sure it's AM4, and the 4070 was supposedly the worst card ever and such a waste of money and blah blah blah, but it works. Will work for quite some time. And hey if things keep going the way they are, at least I can put my kids through college by selling some of the Ram in 10 years time lol.
