exactly! Most people who work with computers have them issued by the company. They go to the office, use those computers, then come home and use different computers. Those home computers are primarily used for consumption — email, games, web browsing etc.
This idea that the majority of personal computing needs require the functionality of complex tasks is pretty ludicrous.
Well, to cite one example, my dad has pretty much commandeered my 5k imac and he mostly uses it to watch youtube and browse the web. The same stuff he does on his Xiaomi tablet. That’s one reason I am in no hurry to upgrade; he’s not going to benefit from the improved performance anyways.
