> they're high end because they have more features or more expensive finishes, but have more complexity to go wrong Sigh, this describes my recent tech purchases to a T. New wireless headphones? More trouble than I had with wired cans in five years, at 3.5x the cost. My first laptop with a dedicated GPU? More glitches than my Intel-only MacBook Air ever had, at 2x the cost. €120 speakers? Their wired "desktop remote" was so dumb that I returned them and bought used €11 speakers on a craigslist clone. (I actually think they sound better.) I spent at least a day reading reviews for each purchase, too. On the upside, I will save lots of money by never treating myself to "nice tech" again.
