I'll say this just as I say for people who say the iPhone is overpriced. If you afford a $1,000 laptop you can afford a $1,300 laptop. If you can buy an iPhone for $199 and pay $100 a month...well then you can pay $299 for an upgraded iPhone.
To me there is very little difference from $1,000 and $1,300. It's only $300 more for a device you're probably using almost everyday. So, if you can't afford an extra $300...then you shouldn't be buying this device
Ok, i'll PM you my PayPal. You can send me $300. Heck, better send me $500, if you have 300 you surely have 500, too, it's just 200 more after all.
Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean you should buy it. I could easily afford a $500 burger, but i would never pay that kind of money for a piece of meat between 2 pieces of bread.
