>Design and looks are far more important than a few extra mhz or megapixels that you're never going to notice.
This means you're still close to the specs of other products. So you probably still chose to buy it first and foremost because the specs satisfy your needs, and then started looking for what looks good.

Thats literally why I'm buying an iPad Pro 12.9 in

It's sleek as hell and cost less than a MacBook Air despite having more power

My computer is a tool, a tool to either play games or do my work assignments. It needs to work before it looks good.
Function over Form.

>not considered a valid reason for buying a tech product yet?
It absolutely is, just not for technology enthusiasts and technology inclined individuals
Such as /g/
Begone macfag

Design isn't the way something looks though. As Jobs himself said. Please stop trolling and misrepresenting Apple ideas.

We've reached "peak spec".

Put a PC with an i5-3570k and a Samsung 830 SSD from 2012 next to a modern equivalent and you'll struggle to notice any difference whatsoever.

Same goes for smartphones, you can't notice pixel density differences anymore and a $200 Moto G5 runs as fast as a Galaxy S8 outside of benchmarks (maybe even faster).

Specs mean nothing anymore.

Because if that's your reason, youre buying a fashion accesory, not a tech product

what are gonna use tht power for tho?

My point still stands. You still discriminate first according to specs (you eliminate all the shit that isn't in that ballpark), then you start looking for other features.
You wouldn't buy something that looked good if it performed significantly worse, for example if it had a 100x100 screen on a 5 inch phone.

If you're a professional Facebook browser, sure, you might be right.

How about both specs and design?

How about something that doesnt cost 3k dollars?

I think you should like the way your tech looks but if that's your only deciding factor you're doing it wrong.

for most users that just browse the internet, maybe edit a photo, or watch youtube, yes, they don't need a 7700K or a Ryzen 1700X

Because you constantly seek validation from people that don't give a shit. Fuck off. Buy whatever you want, it's your money.

Heat issue.

Even if it's more powerful, you aren't gonna be able to utilize it because of the shitty mobile OS.

>Hurrr why get a quality pc when this one looks preeetttyyy

>>61189891
Because thinkpads look like shit? The mighty IBM era is over, I just want to have something which pleases my eyes while I browse the web.

See how retarded you sound?

You're not beating on small pieces of metal all day with a mac and yes, some hammers look better than others.

Looks at trucks. Those are tools and yet people buy them for looks all the times, because they more or less work the same.
