Many computers are going to be more than $1k, especially when talking about laptops that aren’t shit hardware. Gaming desktops can easily move into the $3k tier now for high end systems, not even including other expensive components like gaming monitors which can be over $1k by themselves.
Then there’s large quality TVs and home theater projectors. While a large TV can be purchased for fairly cheap now, there’s a big difference in image quality and capability between a $500 TV and the $4k one sitting next to it even through they’re the same size. TV technology has a pretty wide range now, it’s no longer a simple question of resolution, size and maybe a couple simple panel categories like LCD or Plasma.
And for whatever reason flagship phones are in that range now as well. A new iPhone 15 Pro is $999, the 15 Pro Max is $1199. The Samsung Galaxy S23 and 23+ launched at the same price points. For the base capacity, without any upgrades.
