Who buys computers for their resale value? An 8 year old mac is worth exactly jack shit (I have one, it's fetching $150 on eBay). You buy a computer for it's performance and usability.
And, putting a new graphics card in your computer for a couple hundred dollars is more desirable, imo, than trading it in. Especially considering that CPU performance has not increased substantially in the last couple years.
- coryfklein 9y ago> Who buys computers for their resale value? I never said people do. But it certainly is a positive factor that Apple computers have that others don't. Most don't pick a PC just for the capability of upgrading the graphics card 4 years down the road. But it certainly is a positive factor that PCs have that others don't. > Especially considering that CPU performance has not increased substantially in the last couple years. Which, if true, would not count as evidence in favor of interchangeable CPUs. Are there other parts that haven't increased substantially in the last couple years?
