I don't understand this type of justification.
My fridge would cost around $65k for a 15 year lifetime at $0.50/hour.
It just seems like a completely meaningless way to judge the value of something.
I brew at home and it's 10p for me, is that what you mean?
Neglecting the cost of the $20 press, the water, the kettle, the rinse-water, the mug, and the heating of the water, that's about $0.33 USD / cup?
You'd pay double the price for double the screen size (if more screen size serves a useful purpose to you)
It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.
The newly announced Pixel Tablet screen is 4 times larger than the newly announced Pixel 7a, and they're the same price.
Is the Pixel Tablet supposed to be $2k because the screen is 4x larger?
I really don't know what either of you are talking about with these strange thoughts on pricing.
I had a 55' TV and I also bought an 85' TV.
I had a 24' monitor. I also bought a 34' monitor
Not a difficult concept to grasp
Classic sales reframing tactic for obscene 500%+ margin products: You should buy this thing far above market rate because it's worth a lot to you, not because it's priced at a realistic BOM + labor + reasonable profit margin.
It's to judge it based on the value it gives you per unit of time.
It's the entire justification for investing less in things you use less, and investing more in things you use more. That we generally receive benefits not in one-offs but spread out over time.
Something might not sound so expensive if you frame it as $0.50/hour of use. But it certainly does if there's an alternative that meets your needs that you can get for $0.10/hour of use.
There have been a bunch of times in my life when I delayed purchasing or felt guilty about purchasing something genuinely valuable but very expensive.
But then when you're in year 5 or 7 of using it daily, you're like... best use of my money ever. That's the point here.
If you spend a ton of time needing a large screen, using this for 3 years might be that expensive purchase that pays off for you.
That doesn't make it worthless to figure the approximate cost per time used of a couple of different beds, maybe even a nice one.
