Lol. It is annoying the way tech prices change so rapidly.
For example, a laptop with the same level of hardware as mine would only cost about £600-£800 now, but it cost me £1350.
My friend bought a laptop for £800, the same level of hardware can now be bought for under £400.
I bought mine in May, he bought his in August - that's how rapidly the prices have changed.
It's not always bad though, as things become more affordable as time goes on.
It's just annoying when something blindsides you and you get left behind, like me and my friend :-/
