It is decent equipment - it's just not new and shiny. It is as good now as it was when it was new. Spending 1000GBP more will not increase my productivity but it will make me have to work harder to pay for it therefore taking time away from things I deem more important. I make enough money to be happy and not sacrifice time with my family. I live in a nice house in a nice area (which my family appreciate) - I can afford it because I don't have to pay for a new car and MacBook Pro every year :-) I am not a target. I am just a person in the crowd not flashing white earphones around. Oh did I say: I have a family who are more important than shiny stuff.
