It’s a well-known fact that as technology evolves and hardware capabilities improve, prices drop. This is why consumer electronics like home computers depreciate in value so quickly.
Unlike consumer electronics, because fleet-based technologies are not available for public consumption, they have a much longer shelf-life and retain their value well beyond their everyday counterparts. But mobile computers benefit from improving hardware just as much as the home market and an article on Field Technologies Online.com outlines this.
