This is kind of a shit article. Most of these are just old hardware that eventually had modern improvements, not “trends.”
A “trend” is cold cathode black lights inside the case, not a silly naming scheme for CPU revisions.
Ya acrylic side cases where a trend, maybe 3D monitors but everything else in there was just specific technology that has been replaced by better technology…
IDK I would say 3d monitors are a trend that died pretty hard
I love my 3 monitor setup 🥲
How was IDE a hardware trend?
It’s an XDA article, what did you expect.
None of these are trends. They’re all hardware standards, and all but one of them are still very much here anyway
The worst is still around: that GPU’s require more and more power. I wished more focus on efficiency. Not long until water cooling is mandatory, to get all the heat away.

Intel’s slot CPU interface. Sure it cleaned up motherboard layouts but the need for more comprehensive cooling solutions that would soon follow made this a bad direction to go in.
The capacitor plague era, ever wonder why we don’t see a lot of PC’s in the early 2000s, this is why as everything with a cap would fail and kill the boards, essentially having to call on the oem to fix it.

Curved monitors.
I like them better than flat in ultrawide.They have their justification too.
