Obviously, I'm going to get discounts, okay? podcast-host

Leasing, it's $106 per month for three years. podcast-host

And if you did that lease, at the end, you'd have about $1,500 left to pay on it. podcast-host

I didn't really seriously consider the lease mostly because I don't know how it works with like Apple discounts. podcast-host

You know what I mean? podcast-host

And I didn't want to navigate that, like getting other people being nice and helping me get discounts. podcast-host

I'm like, oh, but can I also do the lease? podcast-host

I didn't like, I don't know what the deal with that is. podcast-host

You're getting a computer with less RAM and the exact same amount of storage. podcast-host

Now you're screwed. podcast-host

Well, here's what I did. podcast-host

Because I looked at that eight terabyte option a lot, but it's just, it's just so much, it becomes not a tied me over computer. podcast-host
