I don't understand people paying this much for what will 80% of the time be an internet browsing/document editing machine.

I have been driving $700 clevos, running Linux and they are blazing fast with nvme storage. And I can use it to code in Go, Elixir, zero problems.



Tax write off, showing off purchasing power.

The only people I’ve ever seen buy that kind of crap for personal stuff are showing off their purchasing power.

I used to be like that when I first got my taste of money. Then I realized I’m a moron.

Just my 2 cents.


I think there's also a bunch of people where it's not exactly showing off, it's just they have so much disposable income they don't care if it's worth it or not, it's the official thing and they don't want to do any research so they just buy it
