When I read these articles, where people buy 4000$ treadmills only to watch netflix using an unsupported feature, I wonder why they don't buy a 1000$ treadmill without any display, a 50$ tablet stand, and an iPad or Android tablet (that they probably already have). You'd get exactly what you want, for a cheaper price..
- newaccount74 5y agoBecause the 4000$ treadmill looks really neat: https://www.nordictrack.de/laufbander/nordictrack-x32i-incline-trainer https://www.nordictrack.de/laufbander/nordictrack-x32i-incli... Apparently there's a demand for well designed hardware that runs generic software.
- des1nderlase 5y agoNo, it's because, this is BS, just like expensive $5k - $10k bikes. These are "new golf" areas for mid-age men with excessive wealth to play with. Unfortunately that drives the market prices up, and hostile plays like this one for everyone.
- newaccount74 5y agoMaybe it's BS to you, but there's always people who want something nicer. And if they can afford it, why not? If a 5k bike is what gets you to start exercising, it's probably even worth it.
