When did $600 become budget?

When it lasts 5 to 10 years. I’m still using my 2020 MacBook Pro, and figure I’ll get another half decade out of it. That’s <$200/year. The Neo could be a <$100/year laptop, which puts it in the same class as $200 shitbooks that crap out after two or three years.

Would you be surprised if I told you that $600 is slightly under 11 days of the average rent [0]?

Recently after another round of 30-40% inflation.
