And you think that comparing price setting from a computer in the 1980's and a chess computer from 2019 is comparable?
Well, I have compared the pricing of a computer of the 80s with another computer of the 80s. (Apple Mac vs. Windows). In this case, I don't think Apple was overpriced because it had many advantages over Windows computers.
When I compare the price of 2 chess computers of today, I also expect that a product with a high price has advantages over another product with a lower price (you can call me naive for that...). And I don't see this advantage for myself. If someone else sees these advantages for himself, that's OK with me. That's all I said.
By the way: I know that many people have an iPhone. I don't have one because I don't need it. And it has no advantages for me compared to other smartphones. So I'll never buy an iphone. If someone else does.... well, why not. Maybe he sees advantages in it that I don't see. I still have an old mobile, ten years old. People can call me if I am out of the house. That's all I need. I don't need a virtual world when I am out. There is an interesting real world around me.
For many it's also a prestige thing. I've never given anything to it and I still don't today. If someone needs that for his self-confidence or really has an advantage from it then be it so. I see no advantage in it for me and my self-confidence does not need an iphone cure.
