A friend of mine recently approached me about buying a new computer. I asked what model they were looking for, what it was to be used for, and what they were looking to spend.

I discovered it wasn’t only computers we are often paying too much for; the article goes on to discuss numerous pieces of technology that we are constantly overpaying for.
