I like to have a very fast well specced Intel desktop for gaming and the
like, but I also find that for 95% of what I do, a 'Pi Pro' as I imagine
it, would suffice. Because a Pi 3 nearly manages. It comes closer than
any other SBC for which I've paid $50 or less :-) I'd happily pay half
again as much for my 'Pi Pro'.

I reckon the age of super cheap but still highly capable general purpose
personal computers, will be a bright one. And I expect people in less
developed countries will be even more enthusiastic than I for such
devices.
