This is exactly why I just bought a laptop for one of my kids. He’s been asking for one for a while, his birthday is coming up, and sharing my computer is causing some tension. Trying to get ahead of the crazy price hikes that are inevitably coming down the tracks.

And with the indirect repercussions of this whole Iran/oil situation, transportation and freight costs will probably add to this whole pricing mess a little.
