I think my last post will be the direction I’m going to go. The more I mused in the back of my head, the more I realized I want that extra control. While the idea of buying someone else’s infinitely more powerful machine, that’s comparably priced for power, there are a stack of small sticking points. The problem is it’s like a porcupine, the points might be small, but they dig in and irritate you for the rest of your life.
I want good materials. I want style. I want expandability. I want upgradability. I want freedom to have what I want on it, rather than what someone else says. I want to not pay more to have less.
Choose life.
