A 1995 laptop would have been incredible sci-fi future-tech in 1975. A 2015 laptop, on the other hand, is bascially just a thinner, faster, lighter version of the 1995 one. It doesn't even do much more - surf the internet, write documents, play games. If you're patient and determined, a late 90s machine could even service you today.

There's definitely a sense in which the 90s marks the beginning of the era of the recognizably "modern" computer. The oldest computer you can run Linux on will be from the 90s. GUIs settled in the 90s - you can make a modern machine look like Windows 95 with nothing more than a desktop theme.

Maybe "matured" is a better word than "stagnated".
