Anyone else here that just doesn't feel the consumerism as much as they used to a few years back? Processing tech doesn't interest me since at most you get 10% more performance and 10% less power draw, same form factor, same everything. SSDs are the same as they were 4 years ago, just twice as affordable, but its not like anyone needs a 1TB SSD.
Like I used to change phones every 4-5 months from shitty low-end models (not because I'm a reviewer, just the thrill I guess), to flagships of this year and the years before, trying out different stuff, reselling once I'm done with it, iphones, windows phones, macbooks, windows walmart crap, high-end business elitebooks/thinkpads/latitudes, and now it seems like there's really no point and its such a huge time waster.
Now I'm happy with pic related for almost a year now and a refurb 8460p HP sandy bridge 8gb/128gb ssd I paid $250 for altogether and I just can't be fucking bothered to fuck with this shit and try to fake hype or participate in threads.
Why the fuck do people pride themselves in consumerism

it was more exciting when each year brought noticeable performance increases. Though I'm thinking more of desktops in the 90s and 2000s.
now here I am typing this on the Nehalem system I built in 2009.

You simply get older.
if it weren't for captchas i'd be using this site on a 486
I'M FUCKING HYPED FOR ZEN
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
USB3.1 IS THE SHIT
THUNDERBOLT 2 IS THE SHIT
TOP OF THE LINE GPU'S IN LAPTOPS
Phone market has slowed down though.

>check out new laptops and mobile tech
>intel ramping up prices
>new top of the line thinkpads or other equally quality notebooks are 2k€ minimum
FUCK
guess ill stick with my t420 for a while.
The step up used to be insane. When I upgraded my Windows 95 machine to a Pentium 2 around 2000, it was a huge thing. Today, my five year old laptop really isn't any worse than anything currently at Walmart.

SSDs actually evolved beyond sata limitations tho.

I will switch from my Note 4 to an iPhone 6s and probably don't buy a phone for the next 5-6 years.
Same with my pc to the new Macbook Pro 2016

Nigga what
>>55236656
oh yeah, i forgot.
but a 4 year old laptop using standard 2.5" drives and pretty much all desktops that don't have a dedicated m.2 ngff or pcie ssd slots aren't really affected
>>55237356
see its this shit right here that i used to say to myself too
just this one more thing, just this change in my tech repertoire and i'm set 4 the next decade
the fuck do you need an iphone for, you have a fucking note 4 like what does even a note 4 do that a note 2 can't.
the fuck do you need a macbook for anyway, what are you making this post on?
nexus 7 2012 still STONK
Android M, over 5h sot
