When they surpass expectations, no one possesses a crystal ball—your prediction is just as reliable as anyone else's.
Nobody has a clear answer, but retail and manufacturing leaders likely know more. We’re all aware they won’t speak until things stabilize. The situation is tough: I’ve been paying a premium since mid-December, and prices keep rising. My purchase was over MSRP by 50 euros, but I’m okay with the extra cost. The store now has a queue tracker so customers can see their spot, but I’m still in the middle of it—ranked #173 around mid-January and now #145. At this pace, I’ll climb about six spots each week. If it continues, I might not get a unit until June or July. I don’t know why I’m moving up, whether it’s actual availability or people cancelling. Even if units appear soon, prices won’t drop back to MSRP fast. You have a few choices: wait and hope, buy from a scalper, or grab a cheaper CPU now to sell later. I chose the cheaper one because gaming performance is better than my old laptop, and I won’t be streaming soon.
