Perhaps you should ask the first adopters who paid a premium for the Apple Watch Edition (Gold), Chromebook Pixel and the Samsung Fold to see if they are still using them.

What's worse is that first adopters are at the very start of the planned obsolescence process and even by then, the hardware/software is made completely useless as soon as support is ended unlike Windows PCs which are still useful after end-of-life.

Do you think it is worth paying a premium for the first edition of a un-upgradeable product?
