Also, in my long term thinking, the thought crosses my mind that I could lose my job at any time due to perhaps machines taking over my job. If this happens, then I have to make sure I have a computer which lasts me a long time as you don't know what's around the corner. I also want a Mac Book air when the next one comes out and may be that may be the very last purchase I make for a very long time. You know if you ask a charity to buy something for you, it would be a computer that would have the lowest specks and you also know it would be dead after a year or more.
