minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down5·3 months agoYou’re not paying for the discrete parts. You’re not gonna desolder that RAM and use it for something else.
minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoNo but I am paying for the accumulation of those parts no? Otherwise I’m not buying hardware. And we know shoe on the other foot, if there was no performance increase, but a fancy marketing label, they’d be all over increasing the price for it.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoYou’re paying for the overall performance of the product, not for specs of each discrete component by itself. Yes, you also pay for whatever they decide is relevant to marketing.
minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoHow is buying hardware based on specs not doing both? To that end, that’s like saying apple doesn’t need to offer higher base specs on things like ssds and internal storage because the performance is the same.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoCorrect, there would be no reason for them to purposefully overspec their parts.
minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·3 months agoSo then why wouldn’t I expect a discount on this v2 card?
