A poor person walks into a jewelry store, buys an expensive shiny diamond. A day later it gets stolen. Poor person goes into an other jewelry store and buys yet another diamond. It breaks lose from its gold ring. Local jewelry store can not repair it. Poor person cries his pain out to the internet.

What about buying stuff that you can actually afford?

I earn quite a lot by most standards and I would not even think about getting a MacBook, unless the company gives me one for free.

It's a luxury item. Period.

I see. I guess the "issues" of developing countries have rapidly improved. Now it's only about MacBooks not getting repaired.

Depleting savings to buy any bit of tech is a problem, but value for money, Apple is hard to justify.
