>oh my, once you discover the concept of TCO your mind will be blown. Haha I love when users attempt to act condescending, but actually demonstrate their own reading comprehension failure. TCO --- you mean TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP, a concept I discussed at length in the post you're replying to? Wow, imagine that. I'd love to discover a topic for the first time that I already discussed at length with over 4 different total cost comparisons, including repairs and upgrades. EDIT: IF we want to do TCO, mind you, I notice pro-apple folks don't include the $100-$200 of mandatory spider-web adapters you have to buy, as well. TCO is complicated and it's easy for Apple fans to hide the significantly overpriced Apple accessory costs from it :)

Total should include time spent on various fixes, repairs, installs. As in opportunity cost. If you value your time at zero, then yes, Windows on cheapo devices is your thing. Oh look, another Win10 upgrade, so good.

  "If you value your time at zero, then yes, Windows on cheapo devices is your thing. Oh look, another Win10 upgrade, so good." Value your time at zero, lmao, condescending affluence at its best. If you are the 1%, you value your time at a what 1/10000 level of humanity? There is no shame to admitting you have money and will spend it like this. But for the rest of people -- the 9999/10000, a few minutes of learning and adaption isn't a waste of time, it's a material gain in skills and money. Rationalize away ~
