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 🤷‍♂️

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.

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.

@ducklingscap897 2 года назад

You can also just buy a graphics tablet for like 30$ if you only want an iPad for digital note taking. Way cheaper and fulfills the same function if you use it with an (I expect) existing laptop and notability.

@Renku96 3 года назад

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.

@CreatedbyEllaYT 3 года назад

thanks for sharing :)

@kiu8783 3 года назад

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.

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.

I’ve owned my MacBook since 2012. 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. It’s still a solid unit. I have to carry my charger everywhere with me now but it was certainly worth the $1100 spent for me.

@rosietorresx 3 года назад

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.

@KoolKukumber 3 года назад

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.

I’m so happy i found this channel, we share some common sentiments about apple products. I have the same beats as your and i couldn’t agree more, i use it for longer review periods, but thirty minutes in, it hurts my ears specially i wear glasses. huhuhu. also, macbooks are very powerful but as a creator, it’s also very limiting compared to windows laptops!

@kevinluc1140 3 года назад

If you ever have issues with high clamping force headphones, vertically place some textbooks (slightly wider than your head) between the ear cups. Leave it overnight and it’ll make a huge difference. You don’t wanna go too wide where you’ll snap the headphones or make the fit too loose.

The new M1 apple Macbook Air is really nice, it runs cooler, no fans so it's quiet, and it's killing all of the other laptops in its class. For a Macbook Air with 16 GB of Ram its like 1199 or 1099 if you're a student, so pretty good if you ask me

Dude I was the creator of digital note taking. Back in 3rd grade so about 2013 I brought my iPad to school and asked all my teachers if I can use it to take notes and they all thought it was a cool idea. And I did for the rest of the year and got like a 3.8 gpa for that year. So I’m a innovator.

I bought the first generation Macbook Air, it gets overheated very quickly, it's very slow to begin with, and the fan get messed up by dust and stuff in just a year or two, so the machine just keep throttling, and then shutdown... I didn't get another Macbook Air until M1, which totally solved all the issues I had with the original Macbook Air.

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

Happy Hearth’s Warming! I agree with you that some of these products aren’t bad products really but rather they weren’t wise purchase decisions for your life. 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? I want to get an iPad, but I prioritized buying one for my sister (Pro) and my mom (Air). So I’ll wait a bit longer.

@CreatedbyEllaYT 3 года назад

I very briefly tried the iPad Pro in store before buying, but I still bought the regular iPad. The regular iPad is definitely usable for notetaking, but the overall experience of using the iPad Pro is better. For me the iPad was a mistake buy because shortly afterwards, I decided I wanted to use the iPad a lot more for school and for life in general so I bought the iPad Pro lol

I bought my 16” MacBook Pro 2019 months before Apple released the M1 model in 2021. At the time I desperately needed a replacement for my old 15” MB Pro 2012 and there was no news that they were to release an M1 16” MB Pro any time soon (at least none that I could find, as I was considering getting it). I kind of regret not waiting, but that was the best thing to do at the time. I’ll just have to wait until it’s time for an upgrade again
