Isn't that unnecessary if you just write letters and do some spreadsheets on Excel? I don't understand that, because a notebook for 600 euro would have been enough if he wanted something better. An 8 generation i5 CPU, 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD would have been enough, right?
My father-in-law is proud to have spent 1,400 euro on his notebook. I really do not understand, because he does neither photo editing nor video editing, and he did not buy the notebook for gaming.
What does he get from it, except that he spent too much money on it?
Many others do that too. Buy an Apple because you want it but don't need it.
It's his thing, not your problem 😃
But I'm totally with you, I don't understand either. Even a netbook would have been enough.
I really don't understand that!
At least I take photos and video editing and I have a notebook from 2012 that only cost 700 euro. I still have a 4th generation i5 CPU and 8GB RAM.
It had to be a 17 incher because he can no longer see so well. But even a 17 incher is available for your needs under 500 euro / 600 euro.
Does not matter. If he wants it like that.
It is just as stupid if I buy a Porsche only to shop 10 km away
Yes, it is. But it looks great.
I also think the notebook is great. But what good is 400 HP if I only drive in the city? Do you understand what I mean?
That doesn't matter either…
Just give him that and it's good.
If he has that much money, he can give me something.
So really, absolutely unnecessary, for him a laptop for 500 euro would be enough!
Or an SUV
He had two new notebooks in the last few years that cost 600 euro and he was not satisfied with it. Always had problems and they broke. So now he thought that if he bought something more expensive, he would no longer have the problems. In fact, he's been very happy with it for 6 months. But I think the need could have been solved more cheaply.
Maybe he should only have bought a Lenovo ThinkPad. Mine has been lifting for over 7 years.
Please not again against SUVs… Example GLC.
