Unless your profession is racing, the Porsche was a toy and its attributes and capabilities weren't "needs". If not, the Lebaron would have taken you wherever the Porsche would have.
So your analogy goes along with my point. If you want a Porsche, buy a Porsche. If you want an Apple, buy an Apple. And go ahead and tell me all the reasons why it was worth six times as much money......when you use it primarily to surf the web, manipluate personal photos, and check email. Again, if you're utilizing its additional features and capabilities because it helps you do real work better or faster in a tangible way, that's one thing.
Computers are tools, not toys. My $350 computer will help me be productive in every way I personally need it. YMMV.
