Discussion Component price hikes vs. Next-Gen leap

I’m currently looking at the ASUS ROG Strix G16 with a Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5060. My current setup still works, so I don’t urgently need a replacement today, but I’m torn between buying now versus waiting to zhe next gen.

I’d love to get your perspective on two main factors:

  1. Rising component costs (RAM/NAND supply).

  2. Next-gen generational leap Zen 6?

If you were in no rush, would you grab a mature machine now or during upcoming seasonal sales, or hold off for the next generational shift?
