Well slap my ass and call me Judy, Microsoft's Surface Pro 6 is just as hard to fix as the old one

Re: Overpriced

Are they really overpriced? Stop and think about the amount of technology in these devices both hardware and software. Then there is the factor of miniaturisation – the smaller the form factor the more expensive.

Microsoft's and Apple's prices reflect more directly the costs. Others cross subsidise from advertising, selling your details and from other parts of their business and then using off-the-shelf software not tailored to the end user.

Everyone always wants to pay less for any item they buy. That does not make them overpriced.
