No RTX 3000, no Ryzen 5000, no RX 6000, no PS5, no Xbox Series X, and a pandemic going on. What a lovely year we are having.

They have been listed in many consumer sites before, for example in my country: https://www.pccomponentes.com/amd-ryzen-5-pro-4650g-bulk Even if it's "OEM only" there are plenty of sites that sell these components, it's happened for many years now, the Ryzen 2400G was cheaper in its Bulk/OEM variant

Is it high? Well, it depends on what will be the use for it. It's only high if you consider it too high for your needs. I got a Crucial P1 1TB for 90€ a year ago, not high for a main storage for my laptop back then, but it would be too high for my desktop.

No it isn't? Just because you don't like where a product is heading doesn't mean you have to hate the company? So let's say you don't like thin and light laptops, you would be hating almost every single company right now for doing at least one. C'mon, grow up from all this fanboy and hateboy nonsense. It's just a piece of hardware, it won't hurt you, it won't love you, it won't make you feel anything. It's just a tool.

Manufacturers usually just show tests in which they beat their opponents. They also usually cheat on benchmarks too. They can claim they are better than a desktop CPU... but what CPU? And doing what? What instructions? For how long?

They should have asked you instead, that's why you are so butthurt about it and that's why you insult Linus with a new account and for free

you know what percentage of the customers are those? Because I don't, but I constantly read people purchasing advice saying their system is not even 1 year old

Everybody is blaming manufacturers for the "low" supply, but nobody is blaming those who are upgrading every 6-12 months, who are a big part of the demand. There are people who have been waiting so long to get a new GPU, or to replace their really old systems, and I understand their frustration, but never forget those who are just buying every single new GPU that comes out for the sake of getting the latest tech.

Unless you need it right now I'd say just go and buy or pre-purchase a Ryzen 5000 series CPU, maybe you can get the Ryzen 5800X in less than few weeks for a good price, you can always get lucky

There are more things to do with a high performance cpu and gpu than gaming. For example, video and photo editing, programming, AI modelling, 3D rendering, etc... You can get a Ryzen 4800H laptop which has a very nice integrated graphics (the Eluktronics Thinn-15 is pretty interesting) but... I cannot help you lie to your dad to get something for you against his will. If you want to spend $1000 only to play games, I can't help you, no one can help you, but if you want it to start programming or such, then you should tell him.

The Apple products are embedded products, each one of them is specifically designed to work as intended, while the spare components are made to... well, it depends on the component, some are made to be as cheap as possible, some others to be as powerful as possible, others to be balanced as possible... Apple doesn't need to get the most powerful/best components as long as the existing components are more than good enough
