To me, this is kind of a good thing since it points to computers increasingly becoming akin to durable goods rather than "replace it every 2-3 years" electronics. Which they should be - your average (i.e. non-hardcore gamer and non-developer) computer buyer probably doesn't have needs that demand even last-gen hardware, let alone what will be available in another couple years. Now that the pandemic demand glut is satisfied, people hopefully won't need another computer for 5 years or more. Less turnover sales = less e-waste. Also on a side note, Lenovo absolutely trashed the Thinkpad line and I hate them for it. My last three work computers assigned to me were all Thinkpads and they have consistently been absolute garbage compared to the IBM-era machines.
