in answer to your question Marcus, because I paid attention in economics class and understand the concept of opportunity cost.

To paint the full picture, it's $2,399 to pre order it in the country I live in (Australia).

The average wage in australia is 90k pretax, approx 70k post tax

2399 is mortgage payments, food or transportation.

    Stateside here, and I agree that price is insane. Also, I like to root my phones , and Samsung makes that hard. that said, I am writing this on my tab s8 with a stylus. people forget that Saving for real needs takes priority! retirement is not free, after all.
