A few months ago the RTX 30 series were released in laptops. They were instantly sold out and haven’t been in stock since. My question is…how is this different than it not being released??? It doesn’t exist either way…so what was the point of “releasing” them???
This is the way it is with all computer parts at the moment my friend. Including motherboards. Until just recently you couldn’t get the Rog dark hero to save your life.
For the past few days only it’s been consistently in stock on NewEgg. You still can’t get a ryzen 5900x or 5950x without buying from a scalper or watching the YouTube channel bots like a hawk

The weird thing is that price increases haven’t even shown up in the government consumer price indices for computer gear yet. It’s probably that gaming gear is a tiny fraction of total info tech.

You have to sit and camp out product launches and inventory drops to get laptops these days. It’s annoying, but not nearly as bad as trying to get a desktop GPU right now.
Like yesterday, Lenovo launched the Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop in the US and it was pretty easy to get one from their online store. Or like when I got my current laptop (Zephyrus G15) it was in stock at Best Buy for an hour or longer.
Because not releasing them means Nvidia and the laptop manufacturers dont make money. Like… Seriously? Im confused on the purpose of this topic.

Somebody made money. That’s the point. Any other questions with really obvious answers?

Nvidia is making a killing sells chips to miners. Those chips are far more profitable.
So far the 3K series Nvidia mobile chips don’t look very good. AMD is releasing 6K series laptop GPUs. Hopefully, we’ll see competition soon.
