In June of 2007 I bought a MacBook Pro for $1,999 to run my startup off of. (The chart says that if I had bought stock instead, it'd be worth $4,413.)
The ROI on the MacBook Pro has been the better investment in my opinion.
- arctangent 16y agoYes, this is the point. It's not like we're just pouring the money down the drain. Technology is (often) an investment.
- BerislavLopac 16y agoMost of the HNers don't, but a lot of folks do. They buy certain technology because it's cool or everyone else is doing it, even though they would be the same off with something half the price.
- arctangent 16y agoI will confess that I do this too :-)
- StavrosK 16y agoWell, no, because buying any other laptop would have probably served you just as well. Any other stock would not have.
