As long as we are talking about cars:
Taxi engines usually last more miles for the reasons stated above.
Less cold starts and normally good maintenance.
On the other hand a lot of parts like the gear box, suspension, tyres and interior/drivers seat will be worn out by excessive use.
"Garage Queens" on the other hand (old in time and young in miles") mostly suffer from degrading rubber and plastic parts like suspension bushings and seals.
How that translate into electronics?
I have little experience in this field, usually I buy devices and replace them when they fail hopefully decades later.
That tactic probably will not work with my gaming PC ( my first ) as I´m already dreaming of an upgrade.
Hope you are right about the big price drop.
For a short time here in my local store 6800xt and 3080 could be had for around 1200€ but now are out of stock. Of course that could mean that they are preparing for the hammer to drop......
Lets hope Carsten
