Lol. We haggle shopkeepers for 10 rupees discount but will buy electronic products at more than full price. Though taxes are to blame for higher pricing, manufacturers must also provide regional pricing. But then there are people who will abuse the regional pricing.
Could you give some example of highlighted part?

Heard people selling such keys/products online but just to give you an idea, forget about regional pricing even our own companies have been looted so much by thousands that you just can't trust Indian market. You might have heard about niki.ai for recharges/bill payments, this company in few hours lost so much money because of a bug in a promo code that thereafter they slowly stopped giving almost all discounts altogether. There are many cases like this. People proudly claim to have 500 amazon acc to grab all the offers & deals & you can see the impact where even Amazon is forced to reduce/rollback its various discounts & offers available till last year.

I understand the things about discount and promo code. But here we are talking about Regional Pricing. Here I am assuming it is something like Steam Regional Pricing where people from different countries can buy the products at affordable prices instead of buying in MSRP dollar's conversion.

This thread is a waste of bandwidth. Is there a thread for 1000+ reasons never to buy Google products? This thread is very polarising in nature.

depends on what? this is the thread where we MUST list the reasons


Not an expert but from benches and a few reviews, M1 is efficient and has better performance than previous Mac's based on intel. It runs on passive cooling.

Reason not to buy wud be if one is an team blue fanboy, as it does not have intel processor.

Else it has Mac OS which has got its own cons. And maybe wait a month to get to know more about design fails.

Yeah i also feel that the M! would be more efficient for macs as its native to apple and made by apple only.Intel processors were always meant for the pc.

Bumping this thread to add one more reason:
Apple can't be bothered to put up calculator app in iPad to this day, since Steve Jobs didn't want to just use a scaled up iPhone calculator when iPad launched.

I can see their intentions here though. They want to not half ass their products. This is kinda commendable when you have companies pushing half done services for the sake of it that feel more like A/B tests (for us to go through and for them to only work on it if it catches on) than apps they actually expect us to use.

A trillion dollar company & they can't make a calculator app optimised for tablets yet.
