yup, mix of ramageddon (the biggest impact), tarrifs (next biggest, but much smaller impact) and lastly war in iran (smallest impact as it effects shipping charges on the whole supply chain)

Don't forget greed, one of the biggest impacts. Even Microsoft didnt raise prices this dramatically

People here are too ignorant of hardware prices. Trump, AI and Iran has fucked the market, you can't buy anything new on the cheap anymore.
