The real "computer hardware reserves" is the used market. Average folks and smaller businesses will realize that their old gear now has resale value and a lot more of it will be entering the resale/refurbishment market instead of being thrown away as e-waste.
- m4rtink 9mo agoThat is a very good point! Still, at least in the short to medium term, there are many companies, institutions and individuals that are used to getting new hardware that is under warranty - developer hardware refreshes, store hardware updates and deployments, some schools and academic institutions that provide hardware to students or even just people getting a laptop for schools use. I think people would be used to getting new hardware for all of these & might be pretty much left out cold without a machine or having to opt for a reused or resold machine without the necessary technical knowledge to support it themselves.
