What I'm seeing in my wider family and friends-circle (outside dedicated 'computer nerds' of course) is that owning a (private) computer has become very unusual in the last 10 years. My nephew built himself a PC for gaming - but that's definitely a 'luxury item' because a game console would be much cheaper. And that's about it. Everybody owns at least one smartphone though.
