I don't forsee buying a new PC soon either - at least, not a desktop.  I have a laptop that I bought in 2014, which I've considered replacing.  I don't use it often though..  These days, when I do use it, it's mainly for simple tasks - Lately I've sometimes used it for playing Jackbox (party games).

Recently I got an email from Micro Center that said they have a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i laptop which looked like a decent deal - It has a 16" OLED screen, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 2.1ghz processor, 64GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, and 2x 1TB SSDs, for about $2300.  I like Lenovo laptops too, as I think they tend to be fairly good.
