Why does everyone here only buy budget phones/desktops/laptops

if someone was rich and autistic, he'd be @ /sci/

you don't get rich by spending money

which one of these people is more likely to buy a music cd?
the burn out stoner, or the electrical engineer

It's because if you've actually had the hobby a long time you'd know it's futile to dump a lot of cash on something that'll be severely out of date in 2 years and drop to 1/3 value.

It's better to just repeatedly buy "budget" shit. A $1000 PC is still going to get max settings and play everything at 60fps, just not at 4k or 144hz/fps.

The people that jump right in and buy $3000 PCs are basically casuals.

Most of /g/ have non-prebuit desktops worth $1000 to $4000 USD. The cheap phones and Thinkpads is because of the bang for buck from them especially with phones unless you're playing video games on your phone 24/7 any <$400 phone will suffice.

This isn't a consumerism board

it's a technology board

We talk about technology, we don't buy things and show them off like a bunch of fucking eaters

I wish a mod would just go ona fucking rampage and ban every fuckhead who started a shill thread about a product - every iphone, thinkpad, android, chinkshit, buildapc, audiophile garbage thread just banned

I'm fucking sick of it, this isn't a fucking advertising forum for marketers, people actually want to discuss technology FFS

I have an expensive phone, an expensive laptop and an expensive desktop. I make plenty of money and buy quality products. Emphasis on the word quality. People who think Apple is the only "quality" brand out there are absolutely retarded and should be banned from the board. I've owned a MacBook Pro and and iPhone 6. Ended up giving both to my sister as she likes such products but I absolutely hated them.

I don't know if the "you'd buy one if you could afford one" people are trolls or plain retarded. Money is not an issue for me and I wouldn't use one even if I got one for free. They are good for normies who can afford the ease of use and """"luxury design"""" but I would never use them.

What comes to the new iPhone X, it's the worst design I've seen from them in years. Holy fuck. Apple has really been going downhill since Jobs died. I thought he was just the face of the company but it turns out they keep shooting themselves in the foot without him.

consumer electronics fall under "technology", retard. This a god damn anime website, with half the population consisting of actually diagnosed autists, and whose top 3 boards consist of Anime roleplay and waifu jerkoff, arguing about whose taste in video games is the worst, and a thinly veiled stormfront2. 0. Be grateful for what quality you do find here.

>why don't you buy the Ishit i have
>are you poor?

>>62405551
bazingaaa amirite? lol XDDD

>>62405658
I'm going to copypasta this from now on whenever I see a dipshit spouting about consumerism on /g/.

Why buy $1000 iphone when my $175 Xiaomi can do all the shit i am gonna use it for?
Why buy very expensive computer when i am never gonna use it out.

>>62405658
they do but there's a difference in evaluation. people here tend to buy it based on some technological aspect, while the actual braindead consumers fall for the "new wew wow technology"-apple shit or any other buzzword so society re-evaluates their status based on the ownership of certain products.

>>62405540
nothing is worse than being poor but still wanting to compete with the richfags.

>he can't afford an iphone
>get budget POS smartphone which will break in a year
>spends all his energy making up excuses why his budget phone is superior and autisticlly screeches against iphone owners
>never puts any effort into improving his livelihood

This is the poorfag mentality.

Because I don't need lots of power in a portable device since any power intensive I do also requires lots of screen space.
Ie I have a expensive desktop and cheap/midrange mobile devices

/sci/ is literally pseudoscience, poltardianism, "which college lads?" and freshmen homework. there's a better chance of having a decent conversation on science in /b/ or /lit/ nowadays.

I'd get a chink phone but they don't work with Verizon (which I use).

richfag here, ama (about technology) and see how mundane richfag threads would be

>>62405540
Why buy a phone or laptop at all? They're pointless. I just have a high end desktop and that's all I need.

I don't get it. I said Xiaomi, because it's the cheapest one in my country. Samsung is just as horribly priced as Iphone

just werks.

You don't get to be rich by buying top flag products. They are usually are a scam, i feel like a tool when i buy top flag products, like i'm paying a shitload of money just to beta test the budget product of next year.
