Why is tech marketed towards poor people? Why isn't there an Armani of technology that is just head and shoulders better than everyone but costs 5x as much?
nvidia & intel
that's what the titan lineup is for.

Because companies want to make coin, 80% of all humans survive on 10$ or less a day and the remaining 20% is made up of mostly middle-class people. These people still have a budget of about $1000 max for electronics and usually still buy the best value products because they spend money wisely (else they wouldn't be middle-class hurrr).
Anyway if companies expect to make profit then they must cater to mostly poor people so they must come up with products in the $100 range which still take most people months to save up to.
With that said you should be very thankful you live in a house, sleep in a bed in your own room, and get to have food in your belly 3 times a day. Like half of humans on earth don't get those luxuries.

>implying high end brands are better in clothing
Apple, High-end Intel, High-end Nvidia, High-end Samsung, etc..
>>55348869
The startup cost and R&D of manufacturing very high quality electronics is much higher than making high quality clothing

OP said Armani so he's talking about suits so yes high end brands are better in clothing. Most adults don't wear vans and t-shirts

>Apple
You almost had me there. Apple is definitely marketed towards the masses. Not so much the high-end segment.

Then why does apple show up at fancy upscale shopping malls?
Because they're literally a fashion brand.

>Why is tech marketed towards poor people?
It's a result of the race to the bottom. PC makers trying to compete on price and make up their losses with volume.
The poor are the target because there are so many of them.

because unlike other mediums where things are fairly subjective, tech is not subjective. it's either better or it isn't. companies try to go the premium route to squeeze more shekels out of people, and that works for samsung and apple, but the majority of people who use tech have to at least know what the shit does. the tech market is much smarter than any other market, even if normies by it in droves, if it's not better than the last, they sell significantly less.

That's why we have endless discussions over which video card is superior.

To name a few that come to mind. One could have said IBM and Sun at different points years ago.
Dell, HP, and Lenovo all have their premium workstations which are quite expensive.

The economy of scale prevents it. You can't just make a small run of CPUs and expect to be profitable unless you are literally charging a million dollars each. It's costs hundreds of millions for the tooling processes and research that goes into a product line.
But there are some brands which take the highest quality components out there and build their own bespoke products out of it. There are custom workstations you can buy which are made to order and have strict quality control.

They're not exclusively marketed towards upper-class, you ignorant nigger.

Only businessmen and wannabe's wear suits. Good luck trying too hard and shaming yourself amongst your peers.
EXCELSIOR!
