Question Buy now or wait

[ragebot]

My just over one year old laptop bit the dust. I mainly used it for editing vids and light gaming as well as web surfing. With the new nVidia 5000 stuff coming out I am wondering if I should wait or buy a new laptop now. As an aside how much more horsepower the 5000 stuff has compared to a 4090.

Do you need a replacement laptop now?
If so, buy one now.

Otherwise, wait, and enjoy the 5-10% performance increase.

If you wait for the next best thing, you will wait forever.
If you have a need now, buy now.
