Is that whole chip shortage still a major factor? Or is it more that that pandemic-era (or post-pandemic-era) has seen retailers not carry as much inventory and (partly as a result) not discount as heavily?

At this point, I'm leaning towards skipping buying a new laptop for another year. Other than the keyboard on one being shot, it mostly works fine (although it's underpowered). And it's possible that the one that had all sorts of problems (where I think a fan might've been busted?) is possibly starting to work after I left it alone for over a year or two.
