This is going to have a much bigger impact on the third would countries.

Most people here are not going to buy a new computer there are tons of people who buy second hand laptops that are old to be able to afford them.

Additionally people are not tech savvy and don’t understand the implication of this. When they see an ad that says to buy a new computer, they are going to dismiss it the same way they dismiss all the other ads online telling them to buy stuff.
