$50k+ professional workstations have existed for a long time lol.

I don’t disagree, I regularly buy $200k servers for work. My point is you can’t feign surprise that a high end device depreciates aggressively. A $50k desktop has 30k of premium. A 10k desktop would likely have 80% of the performance. You made the deliberate choice to buy a system way above and beyond the price/performance curve that will be shredded by the $2500 midline system a generation or two out.

It depreciates faster when you buy that far off the curve. You’re throwing a lol like I don’t know shit here, when you can’t see beyond the context of them existing.

Ok, but that's exactly the impression your first comment gives. If you're buying $200k machines at work, why are you saying that anyone who buys a $50k computer is dumb?

I highly doubt anyone who is buying $50k editing machines is actually surprised by the depreciation. MKBHD, the person this comes from, is a very competent tech reviewer who was absolutely aware. The point of this tweet was not to complain.

You clearly have no clue who this guy is lol. Yes, he’s a very well rounded person. He runs one of the biggest and oldest tech YouTube channels around. He’s got a degree in business. He’s respected in the tech world to the point that he’s been given one-on-one interviews with people like Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Craig Federighi. Google invited him to the 2022 Met Gala.

If you followed tech even a little, you’d know who he is.

Yeah i have no clue who this guy is, so he must be doing a great job as an interviewer and influencer being some facless individual who asks questions to corporate faces.

Also the way you are stating this comes off as abnormally high praise for the guy. Like unbelievable levels for what he does, so im going to have to assume you are a puppet account or rabid fan.

Doesn't sound like you really know what he does, to be fair. He's one of the OG tech youtubers. If you've looked up a smartphone review on youtube sometime in the last 10 years, you've probably seen his content come up. I just find it hard to believe that anyone who is even slightly interested in technology hasn't heard of him. This is like someone who is into pc hardware never having heard of Linus Tech Tips.
