This!

I have wondered for a long time when we'll hit that ceiling (ssd size, cpu power, ram, ...) and I think it's about right now. There are not many exciting PC hardware news nowadays is another sign IMO.

I also windered for a long time why I shouldn't have a mobile phone PC, or more like "where are they?", I have an old Xiaomi redmi note pro 9, 4+4 core with 6+2GB RAM (Whatever that +2 means), 128GB storage and, well, graphics. For not expencive.

It could be an OK home computer.

A little bit of interesting times ahead!

I think it will not take long until there is a cell phone/PC hybrid: you plug your cell phone into a base and can use it with a normal desktop interface on a screen with mouse and keyboard. A bit like the Nintendo switch.

Samsung DeX? My Galaxy Note 9 already has it.

The Steam Deck is a similar concept

But, my prediction for the majority of users is that the device will just connect to a vdi infrastructure that you pay monthly for.
