Should it not be, "At present juncture, supercomp WILL be a costly toy."
"would" is past tense, and we are talking of present.

Before superlative "the" should be used.

'THE' is used with the particular point in time or with things which are specific.
For example: "I saw the north pole Star in the sky".
We have only 1 sky i.e. the particular thing, here in the sentence juncture means a particular point in time so we use 'THE' as a article here.

JUNCTURE is being specified by the word "present" so definite article must be there before present.

How is "present juncture" specific ? since 'the' is used here.
