Exactly my thoughts. I don't understand whether I'm really spoiled, or is the crowd here weird about upgrading for some reason - if you have a laptop from 4-5 years ago, the new one would be 2-5x faster in vast majority of things - even if not critical for your workflow, it would feel SO MUCH nicer - so if it's something you use for 100h / week, shouldn't you try to make it as enjoyable as reasonably possible?
Other example - I'm by no means rich, but I have a $300 mechanical keyboard - it doesn't make me type faster and it doesn't have additional functionality to a regular $30 Logitech one - but typing on it feels so nice and I spend so much of my life doing it, that to me it's completely justified and needed to have this one then.
