I have reached the age (40+) and I need much fewer than I thought I'd need. I think the best way to reduce the number of lower quality buys is just to buy less, way less, while keep a large amount of $$ float in the market. Yes the CAD or USD also de-value in time but IMO they devalue a lot slower than most of the products on the market.
And when I buy I only buy second hand stuffs with a deep discount. I'm glad that a used workstation lives for 2+ years (in fact, all of my second handed workstations live for 2+ years for just $500 and less).
- bombcar 2y agoThe other advantage to buying used is you avoid cradle-death along with the discount. Then, if it works great, you might consider buying that one new when the time comes.
- markus_zhang 2y agoYeah exactly. Although personally I'd be hesitant to buy a completely new Dell 32GB mobile workstation :P $Wifie is going to hate me. But I do need one with > 16GB because I will need to emulate some OS.
