RE: It's a purchase not an investment

To be fair, you're looking at this in a very narrow way.

If a financial outlay produces a financial benefit of higher worth, then that's an investment regardless of it also being a purchase.

The commenter states he needed a newer model for the extra synth-handling performance. If he makes some kind of living from the result then that enhanced throughput may well make it an investment.
