At one point perhaps people thought that the cost factor would weigh in, but given how many people buy Macbooks to use google docs and watch cat videos, I think it's safe to say that thriftiness is a lost value.
- red-iron-pine 3y agolifestyle branding and class-based marketing takes over. my in-laws never use their tech for anything outside of basic word docs or web browsing, but they're fancy so they need to have a Macbook. Same reason they have a Lexus but rarely take trips outside of basic runs into town. And say what you will about marketing, they're all reliable gear. Something to be said for "buy once, cry once", and then not thinking about it again.
