The 5 WORST Tech Purchases I've Made *many regrets* 😢

Ғылым және технология

These are the 5 WORST tech purchases that I've made so far in life. Comment down below to let me know a purchase that you regret making!
As 2020 comes to a close and as I think about ways to upgrade my tech setup for 2021, I reflected on my past tech purchase decisions. Some were great, and some were quite stupid. This video is about the latter. Hope you enjoyed 😂

    Basically the number one thing I learned when growing up about buying tech/expensive gear: usually it's actually cheaper in the long run to save a little longer and just get a nicer device I the first place, rather than the budget device to start and then upgrading later. If you're really interested in something then you're almost guaranteed to upgrade anyways 🤷‍♂️

    This is going to be different for everybody depending on their needs and budget. For example, as a law student and amateur artist, the iPad 6th gen was perfect for me for taking notes, reading, and making amateur digital art. Also, after my laptop stoped working, the iPad was good enough to replace it temporally. Here on my country the difference on the price with the iPad Pro is big ($400 approximately), so the 6th gen regular iPad ended being a really good option for me.

    Yeah I got the 8th gen and it’s absolutely wonderful, I draw and take notes with it! The only consideration me buying pro probably because of ram, since procreate the apps I used for drawing determine the number of layers base on the size of ram. But I think it’s not worth it by price point just for that only reason because at traditional art you basically only have one layer. So base model is enough to do everything I need.

    For apple product I think the timing is very important. For example I bought iPad Air 4 after researching the market. I just recently got into med school and I need an iPad for note taking. At that time I was contemplating buying a budget or iPad Air 3. Pro is way above my budget. And I heard there was rumours of iPad Air 4 coming out and the iPad Air 3 was launched 2019. So I choose to wait. And one month after starting med school the iPad Air 4 was launched. Really worth it.

    Pro Tip: spend more money on stuff that connects you to the ground(comfort) Bed, Shoes, Chairs, Tires, etc. Techs: Never be an early adopter. New Updates, New models, etc Games: Never pre-order. Stop feeding big companies thinking they can get away with releasing unfinished products. -- You might have thought buying older gen MacBooks were bad, but if you look at the whole picture. Repairs are cheaper, It looks old so other people will be less interested(thieves), and hopefully no bugs(software). Don’t let the materialistic world blind you. Its perfectly usable.

    I was also attracted by a budget iPad when Apple began to make them support Apple Pencils, but I soon regretted buying it since its terrible "Stereo speakers". Then I immediately sold it to a second-handed vendor and bought an used 10.5" iPad Pro, which really satisfies me. Huawei is becoming more and more similar to Apple in regards to closure property. It's easy to transfer data and photos between devices only if you use BOTH Huawei phones and Huawei laptops.

The only thing I had to do since is upgrade the ram and hard drive. 2012 was the last model you could upgrade yourself before they started to solder the components to the motherboard.

    I got the late 2015 MBA (base model) in 2016 and it worked til 2019. It was still a powerful laptop for me even if I did a heavy workload like video editing and projects for school. I had to switch to a 2019 MPB (base w/ touchbar) and to this day, I'm still using it. I honestly don't regret my 2015 MBA because that was my first ever Apple laptop and I think it was still a luxury to even have one. Some of my friends even still have the 11" MBA from wayyyy back. I also have the 7th generation iPad (10.2" w/ Apple pencil). I bought it in late 2020 for school, and I think it was worth it cause I get to take notes on it. I guess a lot of people nowadays really go towards the "new and improved" Apple products (especially the Apple fans out there) and I understand that. But if you're someone who is on a budget and you feel discouraged because you think you have the least powerful tech, then you're not alone. Just realize that not everyone is lucky enough to have access to these gadgets and just having the "base" model can already be used in so many ways. I guess part of it also goes with your lifestyle and how you take care of your batteries.

    My sister has a 2017 MacBook Air and it’s just so cool. She’s talked about wanting to upgrade but I don’t know why. I love the slim look of her laptop, it’s so thin and light. Plus the light up screen is a cool feature. Along with all the ports that don’t come with the modern laptops, like usb. The only downside I can think of would be that since the laptop is really thin, it got slightly dented in the corner somehow, but other than that it seems cool.

    regarding the ipad and macbook pro purchase, i think it was just that your needs changed or you did not actually think/researched it through very well. no regrets there even if you can say that the macbook pro could have been avoided because you made that choice by thinking "oh, i will just bootcamp in windows", the ipad was a good choice. Especially if you never had an iPad before or did not even know how it would work out. even if you had no sister you could just sell it in a quite good price.

I am going to make the switch soon because Apple products and my workflow really do not match and Samsung has more features for me. I tried Apple, and there is no question about the “smoothness”. However, I do not think these things are being leveraged well enough to make it a more productivity based ecosystem than the Samsung and Windows ecosystem that I had before. And second, I did not tell you that you were not allowed to comment for you to give the old “maybe she should turn off the comments section” argument because she also did not say that no one is allowed to disagree with her.

    Me watching this review on the MacBook Air she hates and I love! But then I only use it to surf the net so I could've gotten a chromebook but I am happy with my choice. And I used the same ipad to take notes in college and worked for me too. So great to have choices. To each their own :)

    I think it’s also important to note that the budget IPad has improved significantly since then. I use that 8th gen iPad (the budget one) for college, KZread, digital note taking, recording music etc. And it is absolutely up to the task. Ive written a 16,000 word assignment (it was unbelievably long lol) on this iPad using word and it was absolutely perfect. I use a Logitech keyboard with a track pad and the 1st gen Apple Pencil. As a student i think it was a really wise purchase. So for students that are thinking of using a budget iPad for college or high school its a really great buy nowadays! Just make sure you get a high quality keyboard and you’re set!

    This is definitely personal preference because I have an m1 MacBook Air, the beats solo 3 and the 7th generation iPad and I love them all! As a student I think they all really work well together for digital note taking and my university work. I do agree that the beats do get sore after a while of wearing them but I disagree with the sound quality as I think it’s really good for the price (I got it on sale).

    I disagree. I used to get Dell computers in the $500 range and they’d last 2, maybe 3 years. Invested $1500 in a MacBook Pro and it’s lasted me almost 6 so far with minimal issues and isn’t slow. I feel like comparable windows computers are $1000+ too anyway. I get $1500 is a lot for a laptop for something like school but now that the M1 MacBook airs are out I think those are a really good option for people who want a MacBook but not one that’s (too) expensive.

My sister has made that mistake, too. Fortunately for me, I haven’t yet but it’s bound to happen because that’s life 🤣. I’m really sad about the iPad, did you try it at the Apple Store before buying it to see how note taking would be like? Or did you just went to the store and bought it?

    many of the questions she mentioned you should be thinking about for a laptop i considered like 1 of those. i knew i would need it for some work & also casual use but i didn’t think about how eventually my workload was going to increase & i’d need it for video calls for tutoring etc. so now it feels like i’m overworking it 🤷🏽‍♀️ also i purchased the ipad 6 & i do want the pro but i don’t regret buying because i’ve had it for almost 2 years & i initially bought it for 1. digital art & 2. digital notetaking. not long after buying i basically use it for everything except for games so it gets tons of use. my next tech purchase is going to be a phone upgrade & im switching from iphone to android but not a flagship to lower my bill & at the same time still have a solid phone. i’m trying to get out of everything has to be one brand bc that’s what’s going to make me broke

    I was lucky enough to get to try the studio 3 beats through work. It was underwhelming lol, also had the same issue of it hurting the top of my head. For some reason it applied pressure at a weird part? I’d say if you’re looking for AMAZING sound quality go elsewhere than beats. Sony or Bose are your friend. On a side note - I use the MacBook Pro for work. Love it, and I loved it so much I bought myself a MacBook Air. After using it for over a year the design has me hooked. But yeah as other comments say, to each their own ✨

    Come on, no Beats sound amazing compared to other headsets of similar even lower price. They're average at best. And don't get me started on the build quality.

    I mean, I'd still appreciate the things, like I have to remind myself, hey, some people probably only have really cheap bad things but some people don't even have the thing I own. What I do is think about the item I want for a week or two and at the end of the week/weeks I would decide whether I want it or not
