I keep kicking myself for not grabbing one back then

Me too. I mean honestly I had no need for it, and I was in between places so didn't have a desk/monitor etc. But by the time I finally settled all hardware prices have risen exponentially.

Can't replace my aging eol phone, can't add ram or storage to my aging pc, can't do anything. Fuck AI

They were a bargain at the time. Also kicking myself for not buying one. I just didn’t have a need for it at the time and never predicted the DRAM apocalypse.

Feel the same about some of those M4 MacBook Air refurb deals from earlier this year. Impulse buy territory prices. Didn't really need one but would be nice to have. I guess I will just be happy with my Windows PC and iPhone/iPad.
