@deshipu @tio You may know clever and more open minded than some I talked with :) I stopped counting the number of times when I asked the specific questions you mention and received responses like: "it costs XXX so it has to be built with top notch components", "I bought it because my colleagues did so it has to be the best"... All these responses missing proper knowledge, context, specific user needs information to support/strengthen/validate these statements.
@deshipu @tio Everyone is free to buy whatever they want and do so for whatever reason. I just keep the discussion short when they make the statement that a product is good because it looks nice, it's used by a lots of people, and the ads say so. Some people just make overstatement or spit on some products only based on the brand name while knowing nothing about the technology used in these products and even less if it's suited to given needs/situations.
