    My issue with a lot of second hand electronics around my area us that buying new isn’t much more expensive.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy s24+ I got for less than $550 last year directly from Samsung. Stores were trying to sell previous models for more than that.

    Same with miniPCs. Why would I get an old corporate mini workstation for like $300 if I can get an N100 miniPC for like $250?

    And the retro video game market had gone insane. I bought Miyoo Mini+ like 2 years ago rather than getting a vintage Gameboy.

      that’s why i jumped ship to buying linux only laptops since they were only a little bit more expensive than windows laptops with the same specs.

      it was the best decision i’ve ever made since it made using an ultra smooth experience for me.
