Some people buy new cars, some only buy used. Some people think a night out at the movies is absurd given their relatively high price, yet pay for a paper newspaper rather than just an online subscription which others might not. While I generally agree with the Quora answer, the answer to "Why do people buy X given X is expensive?" is generally "Because it's worth it to them" or "They have to."
- cm3 10y agoIsn't the real question "why do people buy it, regardless of the price, even though the hardware and software stack isn't capable of providing a fluid experience at that resolution?"? I haven't used a Retina macbook, but I find it hard to believe Apple would sell a macbook that isn't responsive in typical use cases.
