Yes, you're right. My error, though much too late to edit the GP.
> So the laptop is more like 3 months of salary. For a typical US programmer making $120,000 a year that's (kinda sorta) equivalent to buying a $30,000 car.
The parent does say "kinda sorta", but I want to emphasize: For the US developer that $30K isn't needed to for food, shelter, and health care. The impact isn't nearly the same.
