When I buy a Rick Owens coat for $3k, sure it's a luxury good. It protects from the elements just the same, I know that I overpay only because it looks nice. But when I pay the same for the device I need for my work and use for 12 hours a day, it’s not luxury — it's just common sense. I've tried working with Windows and Linux, and I know that I'm paying not only for specs, but because the sum of all the qualities will result in a much better experience — which will allow me to work (and earn money) faster and with less headache.
