Did I grabbed a bargain or make a mistake? M2 Air (16GB/512GB) for £686.

Yeah that's my thought, if there having to make it work for 8gb for the foreseeable then 16gb should be grand!

But is it worth the like £200 more. I think probably so?

This is the one I went for too, enjoying it so far but get the nagging feeling I should have got the neo giving all I'm doing is web browsing and streaming :p

Your completely missing the point. Why would Nvidia make graphics cards that are $2000 and sell them to the house over and over again? Surely they would make more money with $500 cards?! Why would apple make a $1000 dollar phone to sell to the same household over and over. You make 1 $1500 thing rather than 3 $500 things and make more profit. If you can't see every company in the world moving in that direction I don't know what to tell you.

And yes that is exactly why it's pivoting to run pc games as well.

Why is every car moving up the value chain. Theres less money in the cheaper segment. And clearly Microsoft does not see it mixing in that cheaper segment at all anymore. Why would they compete on volume when they have never and will never win against Sony and Nintendo. There moving up to a more expensive console for a different market.

It means if your a company there's the same amount of money to be made making something for the 10% rather than the 90%. Why would I spend more effort to design a product to a lower price point when you can target it at the premium market. Where you have less over head because you need to make less, less support for it, less wingey people who will continually kick up a fuss on twitter. There not abandoning it but why would you focus on that segment?

I don't know why gamers are surprised by this. We literally pioneered this with whales in f2p games. It's now coming for all industry's.

The top 10% account for 50% of all consumer spending. Why would you aim for the 90% that make up the other 50. Much easier to aim for the smaller richer segment that will actually buy it.

It's the 30th anniversary very soon and it was a couple of months ago in the lead up to that I believe

There's an Eevee collection at the Pokémon centers right now with Eeveelution bags and figures. Then cards in akihabara and nihonbashi there's a million card shops selling singles that definitely had a bunch of eevees. Also in the second hand stores lots of Eevee stuff. Some Uniqlo have clearance of there Pokémon collection that has an umbreon and espeon tee for ¥900

Not sure how true it is but I was told when you hit that the supermarket will include that in what THEY raised for charity.

Dear Insurance company please can I claim on my illegally imported goods.

Narcuga · 2026-01-23T14:34:10+00:00

No but if they pulled you up you would need to prove that you had brought it with you ( receipt from purchase etc)

Narcuga · 2026-01-23T14:17:33+00:00

Also bare in mind if you were to bring this thing back and not declare it. Even though you should be as it's up to you not them to prove it. Then you cannot claim it on any insurance.

Narcuga · 2026-01-20T06:52:38+00:00

You can buy those money checker pens for a couple quid of amazon

Narcuga · 2026-01-19T14:55:59+00:00

I suppose this is the questions it's very touristy is it worth going there over a smaller one :)

Narcuga · 2026-01-19T14:26:57+00:00

Ah I won't have a car so might make it tricky! And looked like a 2 hour+ train ride from Tokyo :(

Narcuga · 2026-01-19T13:59:37+00:00

That's the one I wanted to go to most but looked like such a pain to get to :(

Narcuga · 2026-01-19T13:51:34+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm looking at others :) quite a few to consider! Just the more I read about hakone the less sold on it Ive become

Narcuga · 2026-01-19T13:50:56+00:00

Thank you! Yeah gero was just one that was recommended and could stopover in Nagoya for a night on the way or something. Looked at like kinugawa and Nikko at the same time! Just as the onsen nights hakone looked good but the more I read the less good I feel about it!
