The supply curve in technology

Well not really Economics 101 but an observation that as new technology comes out the old technology reduces in price as it moves towards obsolescence.

I’ve always bought my it after its initial fall down the cost curve where it is usually significantly cheaper. Sure, I don’t have the latest technology but I don’t have the hassle of leading edge equipment such as lack of drivers or design flaws.

So as I am looking at my next upgrade I wonder where we are are on the supply curve for some of the obsolete kit we have here.
