There’s nothing wrong with having a few high-priced objects vs. many cheaply priced ones. My dad has maybe a dozen desktop PCs. I have just one laptop, but my 1 MacBook is probably the same cost as several of his PCs.
- redisman 5y agoSure, I mainly meant that if someone posts their minimalist stack and it’s a mattress on the floor and a cardboard box with a old ugly computer on it, they’ll most likely get made fun of at best even if they’re actually embodying more of the tenets of “minimalism”. Basically it’s just a classier version of consumerism unless you do it in a very unsexy way
- prmoustache 5y agoI won't go into the PC/MacBook debate but there is a thing about having less, but expensive and durable products, than tons of shit that keeps breaking down and being replaced.
- jdavis703 5y agoIf you treat a MacBook decently it’ll last for a long time. My personal MBP is from 2018 and runs fine wit no repairs required so far. However my work laptop takes quite a beating from daily commute, work travel, etc and usually winds up needing a repair every one or two years. I probably need a hard case, but I guess there’s a bit of moral hazard when work has AppleCare for all the laptops.
